What happens when words won’t behave?An Iranian-American woman confronts her younger self, trapped in a world where letters slip, flip, and refuse to stay still. Navigating school, language, and identity, the child feels just out of reach — until an unexpected guide appears: Albert Einstein.
The Words Will Come: Inside the Dyslexic Mind is a new play by Melody Erfani that invites audiences inside the experience of dyslexia through projection, sound, and physical storytelling.
Both intimate and imaginative, the piece explores frustration, resilience, and the courage to think differently.
