HAIR HAIR EVERYWHERE
Playwright: Sarvin Esmaeili (Sarv Star)
*READING OF PLAY ONLY*
What’s your relationship with your body hair?
Welcome to Hair Hair everywhere, where we meet Shabnam’s head hair, armpit hair and leg hair! Through shadow puppetry, sound scores, spoken word in Farsi & English, this experimental comedic play tries to question the beauty standards, the roots of anti-body hair culture, and ways we can embrace Persian Femme bodies. Should Shabnam shave or not?
BIO: Born and raised in Tehran, Iran, Sarvin is a queer multidisciplinary theatre artist; healer, actor, poet, puppeteer and storyteller. Sarvin graduated from Studio 58’s acting program in 2020. Since then, they have been acting and creating theatre in local companies like Greenthumb (The Mixolydian 2023), Rice & Bean (Maman do you love me? 2022), Rumble (Menat Style 2021) and Blackout Theatre (STAND 2022 Festival Organizer). They have done many playwriting cohorts such as Arts Club’s LEAP, Frank Theatre's Telling it Bent, and PTC's Block A. In June 2023, Sarv acted and puppeteered at the International Theatrical VALISE Festival in Lomza, Poland.Sarv is passionate to normalize societal taboos like femme body hair, expectations around sex, cultural clashes, and intergenerational maternal healing. As a bilingual artist, Sarv loves experimenting with English and Farsi where bilingual thinking is more included on western stages.
