I'm always looking for new ways

Iran Theater- Abbas Abdolahzadeh, an experienced and veteran stage director, seeks out a traditional day-to-day debate about the lack of identity and loneliness of people in different places in the show “Akvan Div”.

In Akvan Div, which is a romantic comedy  show based on Shahnameh, the characters try to survive in the story and want to convince Ferdowsi to write more for them. These people are faced with an identity crisis, each with different approaches to achieving their goal, and Ferdowsi should choose the best of these characters.

Abbas Abdolahzadeh says about the new structure of his shows:” If we do not find a new way of communicating with the audience, it will cause the audience to come and watch a show that has already seen similar, and they lose their interest.”

In his view, Iranian old stories are fascinated.

“When we choose the old stories, we are faced with the issue that we have not yet fully linked  it to the audience, and in some cases the audience rejects these types of work. I'm always looking to find out how to create this type of relationship.”
