Dariush Omidi grows up in Turnhout, in a family that exchanged Iran for Belgium out of necessity. Searching for what it means to be Iranian, Belgian, and above all, himself, he delivers a cutting declaration of love and hate to a place he can no longer return to. “I love (and hate) you, Iran” is a funny and poignant monologue by actor and rapper Armin Mola, partly based on his own story.
