Born on November 24, 1987 in Iran. I first started my artistic career by writing short stories and learned music and painting as a teenager. In 2015, I started writing plays under the supervision of Mohammad Charmshir, a great Iranian playwright. Also, I studied stage design at the bachelor's level and theater directing at the master's level at the university, and in this way, I learned from professors such as Dr. Masoud Delkhah (theatre director), Dr. Farhad Mohandespour (director and dramaturg), and Kianoush Ayari (cinema director) and I presented my thesis by studying the works of Jerzy Grotowski, Tadeusz Kantor, Robert Wilson, Samuel Beckett and Bertolt Brecht with an excellent grade.

In 2016, I wrote and performed my first play called “Morwarid”, and after that I have directed and written 3 theaters, written and directed 5 short films, directed a documentary, written 5 plays, written 10 short scripts and 1 long script. I have in my artistic portfolio, many of which have been awarded in various domestic and foreign festivals.

My desire to create and see what I have written and then designed on the screen or stage always puts me on the path of searching for new opportunities.

Part of the "Magpie" play:

Ideals and pains always grow together. Sometimes pains take precedence, and sometimes we achieve our goals and ideals. But there is a bitter truth, and that is, unfortunately, I should be very clear and straightforward with you: a happy ending is unlikely to happen.
