Then, Majid Majidi, who produces the show, said: "Tehran's City Theater Complex has a certain nostalgia for me. At the beginning of the Islamic revolution (from 1979 to 1984), I lived in the City Theater Complex for about five years. I have memories of each and every hall in this complex."
He continued: "We worked on the show Movement at the beginning of the revolution in Charsoo Hall,it was directed by Shahid Hossein Qashqaei. At that time, , I learned life lessons from Shahid Qashqaei as well as theaterlessons. If I am here today, it is a tribute to him."
The director of "Children Of Heaven" added: "The duty of all of us is to support the theater. We owe it to the theater.
