Award-winning play at the 2 Molières
4211 km, the award-winning play at the 2 Molières, tells the story of an Iranian family, political refugees in Paris, who cherish the hope of returning to their country. It is also the story of their daughter, who grows up between two cultures.
4,211 km is the distance between Paris and Tehran, the distance travelled by Mina and Fereydoun, who fought against a monarchy, dreaming of democracy, and finally fled to France after a revolution that was stolen from them.
Yalda, their daughter born in Paris, tells us about their exile, their fight for freedom, their love for their country and their hope of returning. She takes us on a journey between her two worlds: her family, uprooted people who never complain, and French society, in which she desperately seeks her place.
This is the story of a heritage that we love and hate, the story of men and women seeking to forge a new path for themselves.
