Since 2008, Golnaz Farmani has been navigating the intricate intersections of stage practice and intellectual inquiry. As a Dramaturg and Performance Artist, her work transcends traditional storytelling to explore the visceral architecture of power dynamics and the fragility of ethical positions within the performative space.
Through her lens as a Performative Researcher, she treats the stage not merely as a site for representation, but as a laboratory for social and psychological confrontation. Her practice is defined by a deliberate tension: placing the audience in profound dilemmas, forcing a departure from passive observation toward active, often difficult, decision-making.
Her multifaceted career—spanning directing, acting for theater and film, and facilitating high-level workshops—is anchored in a commitment to dramaturgical rigor. By deconstructing language and identity, she challenges the spectator to confront the "unseen" structures that govern our shared reality.
