A Biography is a public intervention about experiencing the city through the eyes of an immigrant performer. It connects possible pasts and memories of Tehran and Vienna and moves toward the present in the form of an audio walk ending in a live performance. Two parallel biographies unfold along separate routes through site-specific narrative fragments. A Biography reflects on identity, displacement, space, and the body. Urban space becomes a narrative medium; walking becomes a way of reading the performer’s biography, somewhere between fact and fiction.

Alireza Khosroabadi (IR/AT) is an Iranian, Vienna-based theater maker, interdisciplinary artist, and choreographer. He is interested in exploring the liminal space between performance, choreography, and theatre by blurring the line between them. His practice takes many forms, from stage performances to public interventions and everyday-life scores, often addressing socio-political issues. Over time, Khosroabadi’s work has focused more on re-contextualizing theatre and sites as shared spaces for collective thinking. He often uses playful exploration of liveliness and truth, and engages with the singular and collective identities of performers on stage, politicizing identity. Since moving to Austria, he has especially explored themes of societal dynamics, otherness, and multilingualism. www.alireza-khosroabadi.com
