Dena : Las Vegas

In life, the question is not to have the right cards in hand, but to play a bad hand well.

Faced with racism, sexism, and the homophobia she can suffer,Denasucceeds in transforming these painful events into positive experiences thanks to her resilience and humor. She manages to convert hurtful sentences into iconic punchlines.

Being lesbian and Iranian is still subversive in our society. Yet Dena is now, more than ever, its greatest strength. If, in her first show "Dena, Princesse Guerrière", she was waging a war for freedom, in "Las Vegas", the comedian leads a pacifist quest. Through clever and accurate sleights of hand as well as nuanced observations, Dena convinces even its antagonists that they have more in common with it than ignorance can hint at.
