Parastoo Theatre

Parastoo is a migratory swallow in Persian that heralds the coming of Spring. Founded in 2017, the theatre group consists of mostly Afghan refugees in Malaysia. Parastoo believes that theatre is a tool for transformation, to bridge divides, build understanding, raise awareness and create spaces where difficult social issues can be addressed through creative expression and dialogue. Despite the challenges that refugees have in Malaysia, Parastoo believes in the importance of hope, of trying to be an impactful and productive community in Malaysia.
