Maryam Hashempour

Maryam Hashempour (1998) is an Iranian theater-maker and writer. In her works, she meets the poetics of cities and excavates personal histories. She creates interactive, interdisciplinary performances that integrate gamification and digital tools to shape immersive experiences. Her interests lie in performances without performers, bodiless performers, and contagious performances that bypass immobility in a migratory context. Maryam holds a degree in Dramatic Literature from Tehran University, where she developed a practice deeply rooted in Iran’s experimental and informal theater scene, exploring writing methods for contemporary performance and approaches to collaborative text creation. She currently resides in Sweden, where she is pursuing a master’s degree in Performing Arts as Critical Practice at Malmo Theatre Academy, Lund University.
