Hossein Mosafer Astaneh :

We are trying to record oral history

Iran Theater- Hossein Mosafer Astaneh emphasized that the share of provincial groups in the festival is not less than Tehran groups in in the talk program "Shahr-e Farang"

The secretary of the 40th Fadjr International Theater Festival announced plans, including a "From Idea to Performance" workshop by a renowned director, and the event's organizers' efforts to record the oral history of the  past 39 years.

 

 

The opening of the 40th Fajr International Theater Festival will always be held in Yazd.

 

Mosafer Astaneh explained: "I see this as a feature of this period. In previous years, an attempt was made to hold a part of the Fadjr Theater Festival in other provincial centers of the country, so that this event would not be limited to Tehran. I am very grateful to the esteemed governor of Yazd who, not only they agreed to hold  opening ceremony in this province, but also they  had a very good cooperation with us to have a glorious ceremony.”


In the final part of his speech, Mosafer Astaneh presented statistics on the number of applicants to attend the 40th Fadjr International Theater Festival, explained: "In the competitive stage performances section, we saw the demand of 232 groups, of which 139 groups were from Tehran and 93 groups from other provinces.

 

And due to the smaller number of applicants from other provinces compared to Tehran, 54% of the accepted works are from Tehran and 46% from other provinces, and this statistic is the result of our minimal production and less from the provincial stage theater, but for example "There were 130 street groups applying, including 15 groups from Tehran and 115 groups from other provinces. As a result, 75% of the works in this section belonged to other provinces and 25% to Tehran.".
