A Theaterical Film to Show at Kaaj Art House

Iran Theater-Following a series of free sessions on Saturday at the Kaaj Art House, students, artists, and theater enthusiasts watched a Romeo Costllucci’s theatrical film with  stage director Mehdi Mashhoor.

Romeo Castellucci graduated with a degree in painting and stage design from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna. In 1981, jointly with Claudia Castellucci and Chiara Guidi, he founded Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio

Since then he has produced numerous plays as an author, director and a designer of sets, lighting, sound and costumes. His works, which combine multiple arts to achieve a holistic effect, have been presented in more than 50 countries. Castellucci’s dramatic lines challenge the primacy of literature. His theatre is a visual, complex art rich in vision. He has developed a language that is comprehensible in the same way as music, sculpture, painting and architecture can be.

Since 2006, Castellucci has been working individually. His productions are regularly invited to the world’s most prestigious theatres, opera houses and festivals.

Mehdi Mashhoor explained about the features and concerns of Castellucci's art. The theater director also spoke about avant-garde theater and its impact on today's world. By attacking realistic theater and, of course, tragedy in its classical sense, Castellucci forces the audience to think through de-familiarization, leading the audience into a new definition of what he or she knows as tragedy or realistic theater.

“Kaaj Art House Saturdays” is a series of free programs held every Saturday at Kaaj Art House.
