The play is an entry to "Under the Radar Festival", a festival tracking new theater from around the world that is taking place at the Public Theater in New York from January 7 to 18.

The troupe will have their first performance Friday night. They will have three more performances at the Public Theater until January 18.

Kuhestani is one of Iran's most successful and prolific playwright-directors.

His "Dance on Glass" won international acclaim and toured for four years. He is the first director to win two consecutive awards for the best theater production of the year in Iran for his play "Ivanov" (2011) and "The Fourth Wall" (2012).
