Kintsugi by Narges Montakhabi Bakhtvar

Our 2026 2nd Stage Presentation

This initiative provides an opportunity to broaden our cultural perspective, as we collaborate with local playwrights in bringing their work to life on our stage.

Kintrsugi is a play that follows the lives of three women: Fatima, a Bosnian Muslim; Bahar, a Yazidi woman; and Nataliya, a Ukrainian woman. The play chronicles the devastating impact war has had on their lives.

Narges Montakhabi Bakhtvar is a doctoral candidate in Theatre Studies at the University of Victoria. Narges holds another PhD in English Language and Literature from her home country, Iran. Narges’s current work delves into how different political inscriptions on the body, including the dichotomy between body-at-home and body-in-exile, are captured in the plays by Middle Eastern Canadian playwrights and performance artists. Specifically, Narges’s research investigates immigrant and exilic precarity, where narratives of displacement, embodiment, and ethics converge. Narges has over a dozen published articles in numerous peer reviewed academic journals, including Canadian Theatre Review and Journal of Dramatic Arts and Music.
