Kobe

Davy Pieters and Nastaran Razawi Khorasani form the creative duo Kobe. They graduated from the Maastricht Academy of Performing Arts, where their close collaboration began. Together they create interdisciplinary work for theatre, museums, audiovisual media, club culture, and (dance) festivals. Kobe’s work is known for its bold visual style, rooted in contemporary issues and personal fascinations.

They have developed bombastic performances that explore and critique contemporary pop culture, with productions presented at venues and festivals such as BAR Rotterdam, Roodkapje, Mysteryland, Solar, Theaterfestival Boulevard, Now&Wow, TENT Rotterdam, and Art Rotterdam. In collaboration with Productiehuis Rotterdam, they created the site-specific performance Over the Road and the show a soft play, which toured across the Netherlands.

Currently, Nastaran and Davy are working on a documentary, expected to premiere in 2025.
