Description:

This foreigner hopes his genius performance gets him naturalised or deported. A dizzying solo that refuses to explain Sohrab's experience as an Iranian asylum seeker. A paradoxical autobiographical anti-identity, anti-comedy clown show inspired by Rumi's call to kill yourself. 'Unconventional. Undismissable. Unforgettable' (Plays Unpleasant). FORIEGNER is co-created by Koan Brothers (Sohrab Haghverdi, Benjamin Rosenthal, Mason Rosenthal). The show received the Al-Bustan Award for SWANA Artists and the Tyler Touring Fund. Mason Rosenthal is a founding member of Lightning Rod Special, the company behind Underground Railroad Game (Edinburgh Fringe First and Edinburgh Stage Awards) and a 2026 Creative Capital Awardee.
