Sachli Gholamalizad was born in Iran and fled to Belgium with her family when she was five years old. In A reason to talk, she searches for an explanation for the difficult relationship with her mother.
She delves into her family past and confronts both her mother and her grandmother. Is this difficult relationship inherent to growing up in two different cultures, or is it inherent to a mother-daughter dynamic?
Sachli edits film images she shot herself (in Iran and Belgium), diary passages, memories, novels and soundscapes into a very intimate performance. The many layers and contradictions in the lives of these three women are brought to life on stage through the use of various media.
