Maak kennis met het tweede duo van theaterprogramma Story Nights 2026: Nazanin (@nazanin.moarref) & Marene (@marenevanholk). 🎭

De komende maanden werkt Nazanin aan een performance, die zij schrijft, regisseert en stijlt. Dit maakproces gaat zij aan met actrice, maker en coach Marene aan haar zijde. Marene werd opgeleid als actrice in Londen en groeide creatief op als maker in Teheran. In haar werk staat eerlijkheid, authenticiteit en kunst, die de wereld een beetje beter probeert te maken, centraal.

“Ik kijk heel erg uit naar de samenwerking met Marene. We hebben een goede klik en begrijpen elkaars wereld. Ze is een ijzersterke performer en maker. Can’t wait to pick her brain!” — Nazanin

“Ik ben weg van hoe creatief, quirky en wild Nazanins instincten zijn en hoop haar te kunnen helpen deze te vertalen naar het podium.” — Marene

Op 19 november zie je het resultaat tijdens Story Nights in @theaterderegentes in Den Haag. Je kunt nu al tickets halen via de link in bio!

Dit is duo 2 van 3. Stay tuned for more… 👀

Belgian Fish in Tehran 🥹 by @marenevanholk

Last night Belgian Fish was performed again in Tehran with phenomenal performances by @kazem_sayahi and @tahere_hezave . For the first time since the show was shut down in January 2026. How much has happened since then. How much blood has been shed. Divide lines forged. Grieving hearts further divided and disappointed. It is heartbreaking not to be able to there to see the show. Painful to put on a piece of theatre in one part of the country while another part is again living with bombs. At the same time I am so proud that this beautiful and powerful show about facing our demons, embracing our being different, our inner child, traumas and truth is on stage again for people to see. The theatre remains a space for people, a space to be ourselves. And it is the people whose space is being encroached further by all the different warfronts. So proud of the whole cast and crew of @virgulefpac to remount this production with an absent director @arvand.dashtaray. I love you all, I love the theatre and I love Claude. All go see on the coming 6 weeks in Core House theatre. .

Theater Laundering
In The Netherlands

Iran is back on our screens.
The images are already chosen.
The stories are already framed.
The emotions are already acceptable.

Before we react, we want to pause.

We are making a theater performance that doesn’t add another image, another opinion, or another ready-made emotion.
Instead, it looks at what happens to _ truth_ before it reaches us — how stories are shaped, selected, and made consumable.

This project is not about explaining Iran.
It’s about questioning the mechanisms that decide which pain travels, and which stays invisible.

For our upcoming open studio, we are asking for your presence and support because this work needs time, care, and independence.
Not to be louder — but to be precise.
Not to comfort — but to stay honest.

By supporting Theater Laundering, you help create a space where theater does not react fast, but thinks slowly.
Where spectators are not just moved — but implicated.

If this pause matters to you, stand with us.

18 August 2016… 9 years of attempting to squeeze 2-4 humans, 2 countries, 3 languages and 2 artistic visions into one life. Here’s to making more improbabilities and impossibilities come to life. Here’s to the art of living. مرسی @diba.khatami taken in Spoleto, Italy by @marenevanholk
