Majid Alambeigi:

Mmany people do not consider theater as a job

Iran Theater-Majid Alambeigi, stage actor and director, stated that he will direct the show "Coffee Shops" soon, .

He believed  that unfortunately, many people do not consider theater as a job because the law and the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare do not define art as a job.

 

What about the process of preparation and production of the show "Coffee Shops"?

 

Rehearsals began in early days of September, and These days we are doing the final process to bring the show on stage.

 

In what genre and what topic does this show deal with?

 

"Coffee shops" is a comedy with an absurd approach. Basically, the show is adopted from three plays written by Victor Van Bilo. These three plays were written separately, which in the rewrite done by me  and it became a play with a common story line. Coffee shop is a symbol of society.

Many audiences know you with children shows and comedy, what factor has caused this way of thinking?

 

For 33 years, I have been working as an actor and director in various genres. It is true that most of the audience know me because of my performances in comedy and children's works.In my opinion, these two genres have a lot in common. The first thing they have in common is that they are fun. In addition, comedians and children are honest and innocent people who have a pure and gentle spirit.

 

 

What things are important to you for performing a play?

 

First of all, the play must have an attractive story, and then as an actor or director,  I should have the facilities and ability to bring it on stage; Do I have something to add to this the plot and can I develop it or not?!

 

Considering the current conditions of society, do you still decide to bring it on stage?

 

Yes, theater is a living art and should be performed in any situation because the performances are for the benefit of the society. With theater, spiritual cultivation takes place and it is definitely effective in changing the mood of the audience.

 

In addition, theater people still have financial concerns in the best social and political conditions. If they are unemployed and have not appeared in a show, their financial condition  will be a disaster

 

The conditions of the society are inflamed and unfortunately the theater has been abused again, no one thinks about how the stage artists should earn their living.
