Parastoo Theater Team

I’m Saleh Sepas, and I’d like to share a few thoughts with friends, supporters, and everyone who has cared about Parastoo.

Since Parastoo was founded in 2017, nearly 18,000 people have watched our productions. Over the years, we shared stories rooted in human rights, sat with you in conversation, felt together, and built a sense of community. Beyond the stage, hundreds of refugees and migrants participated in Parastoo’s empowerment workshops and trainings. Many of those who believed in change through this journey are now in a better place in their lives. I am deeply grateful for everything we were able to create together. Parastoo has been an important part of my life, a part I shared with all of you.

During my years in Malaysia, I met people who are truly rare. I’m proud of everyone who contributed to Parastoo’s growth and became like family to me. What you taught me, and what I will carry for the rest of my life, is kindness, respect for humanity, and selflessness. I received so much love that Malaysia will always feel like home to me. Although I’ve been away for nearly three years, you are often in my thoughts. If I’ve lost touch with some of you, it was never out of forgetfulness, only the weight of life and work.

I would like to formally announce that Parastoo in Malaysia officially closed on January 1, 2026. There is no Parastoo representative in Malaysia anymore. All activities, registrations, bank accounts, and the studio in Quill City Mall that served as our center have been closed. There is currently no activity anywhere under the name Parastoo.

Thank you to every single person who supported Parastoo along the way. This chapter of my life, the time I shared with you, will always remain among my most precious memories.

With love ❤️
Saleh

🎭✨ The wait is over! Tickets are now live for ”Behind Close Doors” – a powerful exploration of grief, resilience, and untold stories.

Behind Close Doors tells the heartbreaking story of Nasiba, a refugee mother of three—Sahar, Arezo, and Omid—struggling to survive in a new country. Despite working tirelessly in a restaurant, Nasiba barely earns enough to cover basic needs like food, rent, and her children’s school fees. When she turns to her boss for financial help, he presents her with a cruel choice: compromise her dignity for money. Nasiba refuses, choosing to protect her self-respect even though it means further hardship for her family.

This poignant performance captures Nasiba’s quiet suffering as she fights to give her children a better life, shedding light on the emotional and financial struggles refugees face in silence.

🗓️ Show Dates: 19th - 20th October 2024
📍 Venue: Damansara Performing Arts Center (DPAC), Black Box
🎟️ Tickets: RM 50 (Standard), RM 35 (Students/Concession)

Thank you all for coming, watching, and supporting “Hamsaya” over the past few days. We are incredibly grateful and deeply honored by your appreciation and love for the show. We have just completed all five performances, each one filled with your warmth, energy, and encouragement.

Our heartfelt thanks go to our sponsors

-Porticus
-UNHCR
-University of Nottingham Malaysia

Thank you for believing in this project and making it possible.

A special thank you goes out to our amazing crew, who poured their hearts and souls into every detail to make this show a success. Your dedication is truly the heart of our work.

“Hamsaya” is about social cohesion and xenophobia, capturing the struggles of refugees and asylum seekers, and the importance of understanding, empathy, and unity. We believe this story needs to be told and heard more widely, now more than ever, which is why we are committed to restaging it in many more places. We hope to continue sparking dialogue, inspiring empathy, and fostering a deeper sense of community wherever it is performed.
