Hamed Vakili: There is no opportunity to make mistakes
Iran Theater- Hamed Vakili, the director of the " Underground dwellers" thinks that because the theater is alive, you have no chance to make a mistake, the breath of the audience flows on the stage and you get their feelings at the same moment. The hardships of the theater are also very sweet.
The show "Underground dwellers " is written by Morteza Shahkaram and directed by Hamed Vakili. A Tragicomedy show, it tells the story of a family with seven members who are temporarily forced to live in a thirty-five-meter house. This limitation creates new conditions in their lives...
Hamed Vakili said about the choosing of the cast: We tried to choose actors who are close to the characters . I’ve had experience working with Amir Karblaizadeh and Marzieh Sadraei, and this is the first time I have worked with Javad Khajavi, which was a pleasant experience for me.
He continued: Besides the veteran artists, we tried to trust young artists as well, and in this work, the veteran actors helped the younger ones to achieve a good result. The mission of the theater is to give the younger people a platform to come and experience and build their own future, and brilliant talents will surely emerge from among them.
Hamed Vakili pointed out that he has been working in the theater for 26 years: I am happy to attend all my performances, and in the show "Underground dwellers", I am both an actor and a director, and it has created a special situation. Theater is like a child that the director raises and really loves as his own child. Even some scenes that I want to cut, it's really difficult for me.Acting and directing at the same time is very difficult, that's why Mehdi Aghaei joins us as a consultant, maybe if I did each of these two responsibilities alone, the quality of the work would be better, but overall I'm not satisfied with the result.
