Pupak Haghighi is learning to become indigenous to the West Coast of Scotland by building a relationship with the sea and landscape in Moidart and the indigenous community living in Glenuig. She was born in Iran and grew up near the Caspian Sea. She emigrated to Japan with her family in 1984 to get away from the Iran-Iraq war. In 1989-1990 she joined a programme to study peace-making around the world ~ but experienced a deeper war than the one back home. She wrote Theatre O, Healing from War, Co-Creating Paradise Earth, thirty years after her peace studies around the world experience. Theatre O offers a stage to explore the facets of our relationships to the archetypes and to our original stories. By accessing our original stories, we are able to regain our wholeness.
