Saeedeh Dehghaninejad: International Puppet Festival got a great reception from the audience

"Mubarak in good stories" by Saeedeh Dehghaninejad from Karaj went on stage at International Puppet Festival, on July 6 at City Theater Complex.

 

The artist said that the show "Mubarak in good stories" was prepared for celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of, Mehdi Azaryazdi, author of children's and youth books, but it was not performed and it was staged for the first time in the 19th edition of the Tehran-Mubarak puppet festival.

 She explained: "The show is inspired by one of the stories in Mehdi Azaryazdi’s book "Good stories for good children". Mubarak, who is unhappy with the economic situation of the society and is upset with his business, which no longer has the previous prosperity, decides to change his job; But Murshid convinces him to stay at his job for that day and his problems will be solved because stories and books are always the solution to problems."

She continued: "Mubarak enters the book and several shop owners also come who are also not satisfied with the economic situation, and Azaryazdi enters to solve the problem..."

This director explained about the performance style and atmosphere of the show: It is a puppet show, but I interfered a little and instead of cotton dolls, I considered paper dolls in this show, and when we enter the story, All are book dolls. The atmosphere of the show is taken from the illustration of Farshid Mesghali, who also illustrated one of the books of Mahdi Azaryazdi.
