An Adaptation of Lorca’s “Yerma” to perform in Tehran

Nasim Adabi and Neda Shahrokhi will co-direct the play named “Night/Exterior/Yerma”, which is about Yerma, a woman who fights for her dream, not giving up due to prejudice.

The Yerma story and real stories from the lives of the cast members are interwoven in the play.  

The original play tells the story of a childless woman living in rural Spain. Her desperate desire for motherhood becomes an obsession that eventually drives her to commit a horrific crime.

A cast of actors selected from the students at the Fanoose Honar Theater School in Tehran will perform the play.

Sajjad Baqeri, Atefeh Ghazanfari, Alireza Abdolalizadeh, Sugand Hosseini and Danial Mohammadi are among the students.

Iranian troupes have previously performed adaptations of “Yerma” at Iranian theaters and international events.
