He, who is attending the Zanjan International Pantomime Festival from Yazd city, said: "It is my first non-verbal experience.  Thie Zanjan Pantomime festival is attractive because I think that such festivals will definitely help the growth of ideas. During the festival, new works will be produced and more artists will be attracted to this form of art.

 

He explained: I wasn't personally interested in non-verbal and pantomime works, but when a performance idea came to my mind, I thought that through this festival I would have a new experience so that I might become interested in it. I must say that this happened. I like the use of light, music, and movement instead of words, and I think if the image is more, the work will be richer.

He continued: Our show focuses on the dramatic moment when the girl is brought into the aqueduct. The connection she establishes with Qanat and..."

He did not consider this show to be a  pantomime work and explained: "Actually, I should introduce this work as a non-verbal show that is performed with body langauge.
