Golnar Akbari: There is a relationship between the subject and the cast

The show "The Missing Piece" written by Vahid Kiarsi and directed by Golnar Akbari from Kermanshah, went on stage on, Friday, first of July, on the second day of the 19th  International Puppet Festival, at 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM in City Theater Complex.
 

Golnar Akbari said that the show "The Missing Piece" has already been performed at the 27th Hamadan International Children and Youth Theater Festival, Kermanshah Province Puppet Festival, and also several schools. She explained the story of the show: It is a circle, a piece of which is missing and not complete, and it is looking for its lost and...

She added: In this work, we intend to say that if something is not perfect and has any defects, it is not necessary to complete that defect in order to evolve, but one can continue the path with effort and movement despite the same defect.

 

This artist and theater activist explained about the presence of mentally and physically disabled artists in her show: "The title ,"The Missing Piece" is similar to the conditions of the actors and characters of the show, some of whom have mental disabilities and others have physical disabilities. When I decide to direct it, I don't only think about direct a play, but I also consider dealing with the psychological issues and problems of the people involved in those issues in order to provide some kind of therapy according to their mood. And in a sense, my work should be a psychodrama.

The Missing Piece is a children's picture book by poet Shel Silverstein

The stage director said about the features of the show: It’s a famous story written by Shel Silverstein, which many have read, and therefore it is attractive for many to watch it on stage. Also, in this show, we wanted the design of the puppet to be visually attractive. Since it was a bit difficult for the cast to memorize the dialogues, we tried to advance the work with sounds, and in this regard, the narrator of the show tells the story, and in the meantime, all the events continue with sounds and the use of ultraviolet light.

She continued: Since "The Missing Piece" has a general concept, it is suitable for all age groups, including children, teenagers and adults. Different age groups will benefit from its visual appeal, and the theme and subtext of the work is suitable for the adult age group.
