Message From Hussein Parsayi to the 16th International Children & Juvenile Theater Festival

IRAN THEATER – according to the public relations of the Dramatic Arts Center, the message is as follows:

"If it is a tradition to send a message to the festivals, let it spring out of inside and be pure, because its motivation is purity and fluctuations of the human history has not polluted the soul and spirit yet! A child is still known as a symbol of innocence, so beyond doubt, children's theater, which includes both "theater for children" and "theater about children", borders on purity and sincerity. An artistic sincerity and sacred innocence!

Now, at the threshold of the 16^th International Children & Juvenile Theater Festival, I have nothing to say, but an old wish and a little ideal: Lord! Save our inside child and let us keep and protect the holy gift you have donated to us on the moment of birth.

Culture is not a field of winning and losing, but the arena of meaningful paces. Writing ability, transcendental concepts, and esteemed ideals will come true only if an inside purity came into their companionship, thus one can write for children.    

The festival provides a chance for looking at mirror, thinking deeply but saying plainly."
