Biography
Ghaffarian started his art career in 1999, in Saba Art Center.[1] He holds a high school diploma in Cinema and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch.[1]
In late 2009, he received media attention after his performance in "Strange But True", part of Iranian cultural festival in Mulheim an der Ruhr, Germany. As the play ended, he appeared with a green bracelet, a sign of Iranian Green Movement, chanting "Where is my vote?".[2] He did not return to Iran and went to France as a refugee where he started the dance company "Reformances". He met and collaborated with Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam in France.[3] During 2010-2011, he attended Centre National de la Danse.[1]
Ghaffarian is the founder of the "Reformances" company (a portmanteau of the words Reform and Performance).[4]
In 2014, Afshin renounced his refugee status in France and he decided to go to Iran, a travel which put an end to his five years of exile, but he is still living in Paris. He is currently studying political science at the Sorbonne in Paris.[1]
