Koroush Zarei:
The Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance is the home of artists
Iran Theater-Koroush Zarei, actor and stage director and director of the performing arts center, emphasized the serious damage caused by the pandemic to the lives and working conditions of theater artists in recent years and spoke about the prosperity of the theater and the abundant and effective efforts to improve the conditions of the artists in the 13th government. .
He considered the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to be the home of artists.
Kurosh Zarei directed works such as "Talaghi", "Moonlight Women , Sunny Man", "The Night of Crying" and "The Unknown lady" and acted in many plays including "Death in Autumn", "1002 Shahrazad Night" and "Green Soil".
He is currently working as the director of the performing arts center of Hoze Honari and the secretary of the 41st Fadjr International Theater Festival.
He explains about the interaction of the minister of guidance with artists that the emphasis of Mohammad Mehdi Esmaili, the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, has been on interaction with artists of various artistic fields. Anyway, the 13th government is a people's government and it has the most emphasis on the issue of cultural justice so that it can establish cultural justice in the whole country, especially in the provinces and cities.
This view and interaction of the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance in the meetings and discussions that he has had with artists of various fields since the beginning of his activity is good and definitely thought-provoking. The subject and content of works of art, especially performing arts, are very important for Iranian, and the performance of the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance so far shows that he pays attention to this content and the popular nature of works of art.
He has a positive view about the performance of the 13th People's Government in the field of art, especially the theater.
“The function of the government is to support dramatic works, especially in the field of production. The 13th government is trying to support the artists who are the beacon of a cultural and humane society. In the last two years, the pandemic caused artists, especially those active in the theater, to become unemployed and suffer a lot of losses, and what is clear is the government's effort to improve conditions and emphasize the production and activities of artists in their professional environment. If the 13th government and the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance come together to distribute productions that are compatible with our Iranian and Islamic culture, we will definitely witness good events in the field of theater and its economy.
Zarei considers the budget as the most important issue regarding the progress of the theater. “Certainly, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance is trying to get this budget into the hands of artists. Funding will lead to more peace and prosperity for artists, and I hope this will happen as soon as possible so that artists don't have to worry about creating works of art in peace and without problems.”
