Red Soil of Kabul

Red Soil of Kabul is a play written and directed by Saleh Sepas, which tells a multi-layered story of Kabul after the fall of the government in Afghanistan. Based on real events and experiences, it is a unique theatrical experience that tackles the topics of human rights, child protection, education, migration and refugee issues. We speak to Saleh Sepas (writer & director), Pariya Ahmadi (performer) and Farzana Yakta (crew), who are all with Parastoo Theatre, to learn more.
