Mahdiyeh Hashemi is an actress from Afghanistan whose journey in the performing arts began at the age of nine, an experience that profoundly shaped her understanding of art and society. Over the years, she collaborated closely with Monirah Hashemi and other theaters in Afghanistan. She performed in various theatre productions appearing on stages in Afghanistan, India, and Sweden. After fleeing to Germany in 2012, Mahdiyeh continued her education in Berlin and became actively involved in social work, focusing on advising and supporting Afghan refugees. Despite her engagement in the social sector, her connection to the stage remained strong. She took part in the educational theatre project Leben, Spielen, Sterben at Schaubühne Berlin and contributed to a range of artistic projects—including film and theatre—in diverse capacities.

In the current theatre production As the Stars Fall by Monirah Hashemi, presented as the final project for her master’s degree, Mahdiyeh Hashemi returns to the stage as a performer.
