The play is underway at Tehran’s Baran Theater Complex. It opened on September 16 and will run through September 23. The play is directed by Pino Di Buduo, the founder and director of the Potlach theater group based in Fara Sabina outside Rome. He has staged the play in 27 other countries.  The hour-long play is the first international performance of Baran Theater Complex. It is spoken in Italian, with Persian captions.

At the beginning the play offers a synopsis of the current circumstances: “Upon the emergence of a monstrous creature in the water, a science professor is assigned to confront the monster that has drowned many ships and passengers.”
