4211 km

4211 km is the distance between Paris and Tehran, the one traveled by Mina and Fereydoun who came from Iran to take refuge in France after a revolution that was stolen from them. Yalda, their daughter born in Paris, tells us about their exiled life, their fight for freedom, the love of a country, and the hope of a return. She takes us between her two worlds: her family, uprooted people who never complain, and French society in which she desperately seeks her place. It is the story of a heritage that one loves and that one hates, it is the story of men and women who seek to forge a new path. While in Iran the people have been revolting for more than a year, this play resonates in a particular way. It sheds light on the barbarity of the Islamic regime and testifies to the fight that Iranians have been leading for more than 47 years – those who are no longer there, those who have stayed, and the exiles. "A great story that carries and overwhelms, thanks to its remarkable fluidity and the commitment of the actors. (...) everything is fair, skillfully dosed, and moved by restrained emotion. From this modesty emanates beauty, but also the strength of a fight for freedom, more essential and current than ever." TTT – TÉLÉRAMA "A luminous journey for freedom, poetic, often funny, charged with emotion and political courage." L'HUMANITÉ "With a mastery that commands admiration, Aïla Navidi plunges us into the experience of the Farhadi family between Tehran and Paris. A theatrical jewel, deeply moving. (…) It is beautiful that the theater thus becomes memory, and celebration of freedom." LA TERRASSE "This show of great narrative quality is served by magnificent staging and interpretation. To be seen urgently! (…) And given what is happening at the moment in Iran, it is more than necessary, it is even a duty of public and human utility, to go and applaud this magnificent and overwhelming show."
