In the same year, Voicelessness was performed in the old Brigittines Chapel of Brussels during Kunstenfestivaldesarts. The script of voicelessness is the result of a collaboration between Azade Shamiri and Soheil Amirsharifi. In voicelessness, Shahmiri's internationally recognised play, she talks about censorship in Iran by telling a story about the future of her country. The story occurs in 2070 and is about a young woman who hopelessly tries to find out the truth about the disappearance of her grandfather.
