Today Jan 11 at 6pm PST, marks the closing performance of Program 2 of interplay_2026
@interplay_arts and the final night of the festival’s online performance program. The works featured integrate playful audience interaction with existential philosophy responses, live DIY sound art in home-style performance settings, and Iranian diaspora storytelling through intimate desktop performances that unfold gently and powerfully in real time.
This moment feels especially important given the current reality in Iran, where recent government-imposed blackouts have cut off phone and internet communication between Iran and the outside world. We stand in solidarity with Iranian citizens and Iranian-Canadians who are deeply impacted by this disconnection from their families and communities. We hope you’ll show up to support the Iranian artists in this program and help further amplify their voices during such a critical time.
