Running Time: 2 hours including a 15 minute intermission

Jul 1-2 | 7:00pm | Firehall Arts Centre

Four Boxes
A Tale of a Timeless Struggle: Humans' Eternal Division

Written by renowned Iranian playwright Bahram Beyzaie, Four Boxes is a powerful and poetic exploration of humanity’s enduring divisions. Through a deceptively simple allegorical story, the play examines how boundaries—real and imagined—shape our identities, relationships, and societies. Blending symbolism, wit, and profound social insight, Beyzaie invites audiences to reflect on prejudice, belonging, power, and the universal desire for connection. Decades after it was first written, Four Boxes remains strikingly relevant, offering a timeless meditation on the forces that separate us and the humanity that unites us.

Performed in Farsi (Persian).

We’re Grateful to Be Here.

The Firehall Arts Centre is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations where they lived and gathered together for thousands of years. Acknowledging their connections to these lands is a significant part of what the Firehall considers when choosing the productions and presentations we undertake and how that work shapes and impacts those around us. We ask our community to reflect on what being present here means to you and those around you.
