Award-winning play "4211 km" returns to Théâtre Marigny in 2026
The critically acclaimed play "4211 km," which has won two Molière awards and attracted over 100,000 spectators, will return to the Studio Marigny stage starting February 4, 2026. The title refers to the distance between Paris and Tehran, reflecting the story of Mina and Fereydoun, Iranian refugees who fled to France after a stolen revolution. Their daughter Yalda, born in Paris, narrates their exile, struggle for freedom, and hope of return, navigating between her family's uncomplaining rootlessness and French society. The play resonates with ongoing protests in Iran, shedding light on the Islamic regime's brutality and the 44-year struggle of Iranians—those lost, those who stayed, and those in exile.
