Monologue! - Brighton Fringe
Monologue!
The story is a façade. The energy is real.

Fresh from the vibrant contemporary scene of Tehran, "MONOLOGUE!" makes its UK debut after a highly successful run at the iconic Molavi Hall.

On the surface, it begins as a crime narrative told across six episodic fragments. But don’t be fooled. This is not traditional storytelling; it is a post-modern rebellion against structure. Starring Arshia Etemadi as "The Actor," the performance blurs the terrifyingly thin line between a scripted character and a living human being on stage.

Clidook Group invites you to witness a raw experiment where no two nights are ever the same.

Performed in Persian with English Surtitles—until the improvisation breaks the rules, shifting into English and universal physical language.
