Possibility of not holding Fadjr Theater Festival in the international section
Iran Theater- The secretary of the 39th Fajr Theater Festival announced that part of the call for the festival will be announced by next week.
Hossein Mosafer Astaneh made some remarks about the festival call and suggested that the 39th Fadjr Theater Festival would not be held the international section due to the coronavirus pandemic.
He said in this regard: the generals of the festival call have been determined, but the form of holding it depends on the circumstance we are in in February, which is the time of holding the festival.
“Next week, we will announce a part of the festival call that includes parts that are clearer, but we will inform about other parts later.”
He explained " It is unlikely that we will be able to hold the international section this year, although we would like to hold this section, but there is a big gap between our wishes and the covid-19 pandemic.”
“We have observed many countries, but due to the Coronavirus epidemic, none of them have theatrical activities. At the same time, by inviting one or two foreign plays it cannot be an international festival, because we definitely mean the international festival,. However, we have to see how the situation will be in the next few months. There is currently a specific program for this section.”
