Pouya “Andrei” Bakhshi ventured as a performer in ‘The Caucasian Chalk Circle’, KLPAC, 2017.

Working on numerous projects, Videography ‘Mortal Man: Two Monologues’ 2024, ASM in ‘House of Kam 2’ 2024, Lighting Operator in ‘Hamsayeh’ 2024, Stage Crew in ‘The Wow Show Live’ 2024, and doubling as Ensemble/Stage Crew in ‘Cinderella the Musical’ 2024. He also created Installation ‘No Rules’ 2024 and debuted as a lighting designer in ‘Behind Close Doors’ 2024.
My work is fuelled by an 8-year-old boy, who feared performing on stage, and barely knew how to speak, but as he aged, he fell in love with everything that came with theatre. Enjoying a project to me is being able to let that inner child out, and for him to be able to explore. I can only be proud of the work I do as an artist, if that work was enjoyable, whether it be a stage performance, a film shoot, or helping in different ways. If we suppress our inner children as artist, then that art is useless.
