The Little Black Fish

"The Little Black Fish"
Based on a story by Samad Behrangi
(a play for young audiences +5)

"The Little Black Fish" is a play based on a children's story written by the prominent Iranian writer, Samad Behrangi. It will have its US premier in November in New York City. A Maaa Theater production, the play is directed by Mohammad Aghebati and produced by Mehrnoush Alia.

Synopsis:
Samad Behrangi's short story is about a fish that lives in a small stream and wants to live a life with aspirations and purpose. He embarks on an eye-opening journey with the spirit of a dreamer experiencing an awakening, but in the process he does more than that. The path leads him to wisdom, courage, awareness and study of complex social relations.
