Alireza Haji-Babaie on the 42nd Fadjr International Theater Festival
Iran Theater-Alireza Haji-Babaie believes that it is necessary to pay special attention to the student section in Fadjr Theater Festival.
"Waiting for Godot" directed by Alireza Haji -Babaie is performing in the student section of Fadjr, which is from Azad University of Tehran.
Waiting for Godot is a play by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, engage in a variety of discussions and encounters while awaiting the titular Godot, who never arrives. "Waiting for Godot was a very big project for me because Beckett's play is a very complex and difficult. " ,Haji-Babaie says.
He explains about the production process of the show: "I could not connect with the translations of this play so i decided to study the original and after reading, images formed in my mind. I translated the book, I found different roots of words, and so process of translating lasted for seven months. Siamak Zanjani was my cast director and consultant in this work. "
Alireza Haji-Babaie reveals that "Waiting for Godot" needs a lot of time for rehersal. The play consists of several chapters. I saw different performances with different approaches of this work."
