Hamedan children and Young Adult Theater Festival to Host international troupes
Iran Theater- After two years hiatus due to pandemic, the festival will open with the participation of theater groups from five countries.
Troupes from Italy, Greece, Turkey, Armenia and Iraq will attend the festival opening on Wednesday in Hamedan to perform their latest productions.
Amir Mashhadi-Abbas, the Secretary of the festival, gave no details about the troupes.
Due to the deep economic recession facing the country, he said that it was anticipated that the government funds would be used for “the professional festival” instead of other “amateur events”.
The motto of this year’s festival is “Theater, the Flying of the Butterflies’ Imaginations”.
“By this motto, the festival intends to support creative artistic works and train the future generation based on Iranian-Islamic principles,” Mashhadi-Abbas noted.
Theater troupes will attend rallies and carnivals in some provincial capitals, celebrating the opening of the festival on Tuesday the same day as Hamedan.
Ten theaters in Hamedan will be playing host to over 70 performances, which will be put on stage by Iranian troupes during the festival.
