Vivian Farahani is a German-Iranian

theatre and filmmaker based in New York.

​

She discovered a passion for storytelling after realizing its ability to compel audiences to reevaluate their perspectives. A family story characterized by migration leads her to ask questions concerning the relationship between culture and behavior, examining how our history, culture, and belief systems influence our perspectives on global events and our personal relationships.

​

She was the Directing intern on Simon McBurney's Wozzeck at the 2023 Festival D'Aix-en-Provence, where she got to experience & participate in a room valuing process-oriented work. Recent projects include productions of Lucy Prebble's "The Effect" and "Enron", and Sophocles' "Antigone."
