Sometimes, when Ash gazes at him, he feels an overwhelming sense of familiarity, as if he is looking into a mirror and seeing a reflection of himself. However, if the baby truly is a part of him, then who is he? And who are you?
As Ash watches his mother holding her grandchild for the first time, he is captivated by the mystery and joy of a new life. After she leaves, Ash watches his wife feeding their newborn son, their bodies almost intertwined. He feels a growing chasm separating him from them and from his own mother.
Sleepless nights, relentless crying, and hushed arguments take their toll on the family, and Ash begins to feel a storm brewing within himself. As he grapples with the complexities of being a father, a son, a husband, Ash fears that everything he cherishes might be lost.
Bijan Sheibani's play "The Cord" is a poignant and visceral exploration of the challenges of being a parent and a child, regardless of age. It premiered at The Bush Theatre in London in April 2024.
