I’M DERANGED

Company born in Nantes in 1998 under the impulse of Hervé Guilloteau, actor-director-author, Grosse Théâtre has been creating and producing theater shows for 25 years.
All these years are synonymous of crossings between various artists. Sometimes ephemeral experiences, often lasting meetings and partnerships.
Since 2015, the structure has accompanied young directors in the creation of their first shows. After Clément Pascaud, Marine de Missolz and Tanguy M.Bordage, Grosse Théâtre supports Mina Kavani in the production and development of her first creation I'M DERANGED.

Mina Kavani was born in Tehran into a family of artists. She is the niece of Ali Raffi, an Iranian director. At the age of 16, she started acting under his direction and that of important Iranian directors. At 22 she moved to Paris and entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique in the class of Jean-Damien Barbin.

Thank you to Jean-Damien Barbin, my teacher at the CNSAD in Paris, my eternal master who taught me so much during all these years of exile and who supported and helped me so much in this project. Warm thanks to Barbara Hutt. I dedicate this show to my mother who supported me so much all these years, who knew how to accept and support that I was far from her, to live my passion of art. – Mina Kavani
