An Interview with Bahar Mahmoudzadeh, Director

'The Eyes' Has No Her but Victim

Iran Theater: 'The Eyes' creates ambiguity and question about love, confusion and loneliness. However, it will solve theme by the end of the show. The show is the story of two sisters but it deals with war and loss of their father and many members of the city.

Bahar Mahmoudzadeh, director of 'The Eyes' is a graduate of psychology with a career surpassing a decade in theater. She has pieces like 'The Life of Others' and 'Forgotten' in her career.

'The Eyes' is written by Masoud Hasheminejad. It has performance at Pardis Shahrzad Theater every day except for Saturdays at 6:00 pm. Shabnam Qolikhani, Mahdi Mahani and Elaheh Shahparast play in 'The Eyes'.

 

You had performed the piece in 2013. What changes have you made for the new performance?

First, I have new performers. Many changes are made in set design. There are some changes in performance too.

 

Can you explain the changes in performance?

In structure, set design and ambience of the performance and also change in style of acting.

 

Why are you performing the show again?

The world is grappled with new conflicts. War has influenced the lives of many. It think war is a globalized subject and not limited to a certain geography. The woman in the play faces a problem, which is all inclusive. Therefore, the new performance could be helpful.

 

Is the stability of families threatened in today's world?

When such as a woman faces such problem, it would make the families more vulnerable. The pillar of family is a woman. When she is raped physically or psychologically, its vicious impacts would be passed on to the next generations. Some of these bad impacts are deeply inside and cannot be seen on the surface.  

 

Does the woman intend to have a new experience by getting married? Yes, her attitude is different with her husband and child. Her child is grown up and joins the society under the influence of her mother.

 

Do you think women and children are main victims of war?

Of course and they are more vulnerable compared to men.
