Luigi Pirandello’s “The Jar” was performed at the residence of the Italian ambassador

The play "Jar" written by Luigi Pirandello with the design and dramaturgy of Majid Zarezadeh was performed at the residence of the Italian ambassador, Giuseppe Perrone.

 

“The Jar” is a wild political comedy about a tyrannical feudal lord, Don Lollo, who orders a gigantic human-size clay pot to hold his estate’s great olive harvest. When the jar breaks, a mystical potter with a mysterious glue comes to fix it—and accidentally entombs himself within it.

It’s featuring Mohammad Ali Mahboubi, Majid Zarezadeh, Mohammad Hadi Meshki, Sasan Dezvarii, Amir Abbas Saleh, Hossein Jafarpour, Aida Berenji, Maryam Rezaei, Amir Ali Zamannejad, Omid Shiri, Elina Hatami, Mohammad Reza Haji Mohammadi and Amir Mehdi Alizadeh.

Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer whose greatest contributions were his plays.He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art" Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.

Giuseppe Perrone, the Italian ambassador in Tehran, wrote on the embassy's website: "A new interpretation of "Jar" by Luigi Pirandello, which expresses the stunning modernism of the Sicilian writer, was staged."

 

He also congratulated the cast for their admirable performance and their continued commitment to promoting the relations between Iran and Italy.
