Dear performer. I want to show you something. Did you know, in Farsi my name is written like this: ‘.RUOPNAMIELOS MISSAN si eman yM’
 
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour comes an audacious new theatrical experiment. Each night a different performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits unseen in a sealed box…

Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us. NASSIM is toured globally and is translated and performed in the native language of each country.

After the opening of NASSIM in London, the production won the Fringe First award at the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe Festival before beginning it's life on tour. In 2018, NASSIM was performed in 20 countries within a 200 day span. Countries including Australia, Japan, China, Chili, Peru, South Korea, Spain and more.
 
In 2019 NASSIM landed in New York City for its American premier and an Off Broadway Run where the show won the Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Unique Theatrical Experience. The five-month New York City Center run with over 150 renowned actors, writers, and creators included Michael Shannon, Tracy Letts, Kate Arrington, Carrie coon, Lisa Emery, Cory Michael Smith, Kathy Najimy, Michael Urie, Phillipa Soo and many other theatre, TV and movie stars.

After around 400 shows at the end of 2019, and a long rest for the whole 2020 due to the global pandemic, the show is back on tour since mid 2021.
