The young and creative generation of Iranian theater is amazing

The 41st Fadjr International Theater Festival ended with the introduction of the winners of different sections in the closing ceremony held at Vahdat Hall. Iran Theater made an interview with Ahmed Hassan Mousa, who was from Iraq.

 

How did you find the thematic diversity of the works of   41^st FITF?   

  In any international festival, it is better to reflect the current conditions and reality of that country. I saw a lot of variety in Iranian shows, which were about thirteen shows. Foreign and Arab shows also brought the current conditions of their own countries to the stage; And of course, it is the nature of any festival to have diverse topics according to the countries participating in it.

I know you have been familiar with Iranian theater for a long time; How do you see the quality of Iranian plays and the state of Iranian theater compared to the past?

-Iranian theater is an advanced theater in the past and now, and because you have so many halls and venues. The high number of shows creates creativity. When 120 shows are produced in Iran per year, surely at least a quarter of these shows will be diverse and creative; And what is surprising is the talented and creative young generation in Iranian theater.

What is your advice about holding FITF?

-Pay more attention to the audience. More countries should be given importance to participate in the festival. This festival has been held for forty-one years and this festival, which I love so much, should become stronger and shine like a lasting work in the region and the world.
