Busco a mi amiga de infancia MIREIA (Barcelona). ¿Alguien me puede ayudar a localizarla? #ConexionesPerdidas #AmigosInfancia #MireiaBCN

@RaminSetoodeh Impeccable audiovisual translation in Persian, yes (same as "My Fair Lady"). P.S: "Farsi" is the Persian word for Persian in Persian.

This is how #democracy is stripped away if we’re not vigilant.

What Iranian women have had to put up with daily for the past 44 years. Time’s up. Free Iran. 💚🤍❤️ #zanzendegiazadi #WomanLifeFreedom #mujervidalibertad #FemmeVieLiberté #zanzianazadi #زن_زندگى_آزادى

#Democracy is fragile. So is freedom of speech. If you have it, safeguard it like a precious gem wrapped in velvet, lest it should be taken away so imperceptibly that even you don’t realize how and when it happened.

5/ @MimiSoloShow premiered @unitedsolo in NYC in 2015 & went on to tour internationally including at 70th @edfringe where it was nominated for a Freedom of Expression award by Amnesty International @AmnestyFest (later awarded a grant in Innovative Arts by Neda Nobari Foundation).

To better understand what’s been happening in Iran since 1979 and why the people of Iran want freedom, invite MIMI’S SUITCASE to your school/institution followed by Q&A: https://t.co/Rx6T7XRtZO #theatre #lifewomanfreedom #iranhistory 💚🤍❤️

Happy opening to ENGLISH @berkeleyrep 🥂 It’s been such a fun ride! #dialectcoach #actingcoach #theatrelife

[Ana Bayat @AnaBayat]

I dream of a day when Iranian characters are cast with the same multiethnic lens that is characteristic of the Iranian heritage: not everyone must (or does) look the same. #casting

[Ana Bayat @AnaBayat]

Iranian people don’t want a discount; they want a full refund. Happy International Women’s Day!

Big shout out to my colleague Helga for her support & guidance. Thrilled to see Mimi’s Suitcase in @autobiostudies as an excellent way to gage student learning & engagement #womenautobiography #WomanLifeFreedom

[Ana Bayat @AnaBayat]

@MimiSoloShow A play about #woman_life_freedom written before the current #IranianRevolution started. Looking forward to speaking about #zanzendegiazadi at Mixology/Undiscovered Works today. Gratitude to Jen Dean for editing this clip. May we celebrate a #FreeIran soon.

A thoughtful student in my film class on Iranian cinema brought me this postcard from SF’s women’s march. Now the whole world knows what the Iranian people have been enduring since 1979 (no longer in silence). #freevahidafkari #StopExecutionsInIran #WomanLifeFreedom

[Ana Bayat @AnaBayat]

Amidst so much pain coming from Iran, I am happy to collaborate with @Studio_Theatre as a language, culture & casting consultant to bring Sanaz Toosi’s ENGLISH on stage this winter with a stellar cast & crew. #dialectcoach #theatre

[Ana Bayat @AnaBayat]

No film captures loss of basic individual freedom, the claustrophobic atmosphere of #Iran under the Islamic regime & the rabbit hole bureaucracy can be more successfully than TATTOO by Farhad Delaram & Dena Rassam with Behdokht Valian. Thank you, @criterionchannl #WorldCinema

[Ana Bayat @AnaBayat]

At last, the whole world knows what the Iranian people have endured under the heavy-handed regime since 1979. The time has come to take back the land of Cyrus the Great and revive our original roots founded on beauty, poetry & liberty. #MahsaAmini #IranRevoIution #zanzendegiazadi

On this Human Rights Day, #UNLeadersMustSpeakOut & ACT against death penalties for protesters who seek basic human rights to lead a dignified life. Let's be the moral conscience of the world. #StopExecutionsInIran #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini #MohsenShekari #MahanSadratMadani
