In her play Songs for Her, Narges Hashempour examines the different attitudes of three generations of women in Iran, their memories, and how they face the various challenges life sets before them, the lack of understanding and often difficult relationships between each other. The play is still a work in progress and is being developed with the director Friederike Felback. Excerpts from the play will be performed during the open rehearsals. The premiere takes place on November 19, 2006 in the Theater an der Ruhr in Mülheim an der Ruhr.
