Rostam and Me weaves the personal stories of Sahand's family with the ancient tales brought to life in a complex tapestry. For some, the ancient Iranian book of Ferdowsi is a dusty tome on the top shelf of the library. For others, the stories are alive today, told by relatives on cold nights, like Sahand Sahebdivani's great-grandmother did. Ancient heroes and demonic kings were brought to life, as outside a cold wind blew. In between the stories she would tell of her own life, marrying a man she didn't know at the age of 16, losing her husband to one of Iran's wars...

Sahand Sahebdivani is an Iranian-born and Netherlands-raised storyteller. He's one of the founders of the contemporary Dutch storytelling scene. He mixes personal stories of war, refuge, and being a first-generation immigrant with ancient myths and legends to create shows that have toured all over Europe and beyond.
