Iran Theater- Cultural Attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Iran Zhozy Haw attended a meeting with Kazem Nazari , the Director General of Dramatic Arts Center and ITI President of Iran in Tehran on Tuesday and was briefed on Improving the level of cooperation between the two countries.
Mozhgan Vakili, who has been the director of international relation department of Dramatic art center of Iran and Zhao Ziyang, the cultural advisor of the Chinese Embassy, were also present in this meeting.
Kazem Nazari appreciated the presence of Chinese artists in the Traditional and Ritual Festival: We are grateful to the artists and the Chinese government for their presence and artistic performance.
He added: "If we continue the cooperation and the presence of Chinese artists in the Fadjr International Theater Festival, we will name a day as the Chinese Culture and Art Day. We consider a space for different Chinese groups so that the Iranians have a full day to attend and learn about the culture, customs and rituals of your country. Fortunately, China has a lot of growth in film and television productions, and we would like to invite great Chinese artists in various fields to exchange and transfer experiences to students and people.
The Director General of Dramatic Arts Center added: Creative workshops focusing on the common dimensions of mythological figures and heroes of the two countries can be significant in the co- production of plays and performances with Chinese and Iranian artists.
Nazari emphasized the importance of the economic benefit of these co- productions for theater groups: The good relations between Iran and china can provide the conditions for the works that are culturally very similar in both countries. I believe that art diplomacy creates more effective communication for countries.
He added: I know China for its rich art and culture, and if the governments introduce their culture to each other, the respect and communication between their people will increase. Communications are the essence of humanity and I hope this cultural exchange will be bilateral and Iranian artists will be able to present their works in China.
Zhozy Haw pointed out that the reception of the Chinese show performed in the 21st International Traditional and Ritual Festival in Gorgan was unimaginable: "The China Performing Arts Association invited a group of famous theater artists to perform in Iran. The welcome of the Iranians motivated us to contact the China Performing Arts Association and request the introduction of two works to participate in the 42nd Fadjr International Theater Festival and the International Children and Youth Theater Festival which is scheduled to be held in Yazd.
He continued: In people's minds, China is an international factory that makes everything. We are also very interested in introducing our culture to the people of Iran, because there are cultural similarities between the two countries.. In this regard, we are ready to cooperate with Iran.
