Attention to research at this festival is a must

Iran Theater- In a message to the 19th Ritual and Traditional Theater Festival, Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Abbas Salehi, said that the festival is one of the most important and major artistic events with a focus on Iranian, native and revival of traditions and rituals.

Abbas Salehi wrote:

“The rituals and traditions have been sustained and deeply linked to the history and different aspects of the lives of the inhabitants of the Iranian land, as an important part of our land's culture. A variety of rituals and traditions that exist within the context of different segments of life and have dramatic, musical and entertainment characteristics, awareness, criticism and empathy. Attention to the research at this festival is a necessity with the support of research and studies, the field of recording and performances of traditional and traditional performances can be transferred to the present and the future generation.”

Today, as developments have transformed human life and traditional ritual performances have diminished in the hurrying moments of life, the concern of artists and researchers in fields such as the traditional ritual theater festival, recording, rehearsal and remembrance of the theatricals is on the rise. That paves the way for more attention to the production, performances, or research and training of rituals. Ritual and Traditional Theater Festival is one of the most important and mainstream Iranian art events, native to fostering traditions and rituals. And a wide variety of audiences and lovers eagerly accompany them.”
