Hamidreza Naimi writes "Wojtek " for the young adult age group

He announced the writing of his fifth play called "Wojtek" for teenagers.

Hamidreza Naimi said about his new activities: "After the performance of the play "Frederick", I am more interested in reading and writing. Currently, I am writing a play called "Wojtek" for teenagers.

 

He continued: "This play is about an Iranian bear during World War II. I had the idea for a long time and I recently got the opportunity to write it."

Wojtek was a Syrian brown bear adopted by soldiers of the Polish II Corps during World War II. As a young cub, his mother was shot by hunters, and he was found in the mountains of Iran by a young boy.

 

This actor and theater director said: "Wojtek" is my fifth play for teenagers. The three previous works have been published with the titles "Good Story of God", "Once upon a time, canine" and "Moon and Zhiyar". One of my play, "My name is Rozhan", is about children and war which is currently being prepared for performance by Mehdi Qhaleh.

He explained that there is no other season for teenagers, and emphasized the importance of producing work for this age group: "The border between adolescence and youth is extremely thin. In adolescence, the most important philosophical, psychological, physical and … questions are formed for this age group, and we still did not work in this field. Of course, it does not mean the growth of children's theater, and Basically, children's and teenagers' theater is more unsuccessful than adult theater. While all over the world, they pay special attention to theater for this age group."

Naimi considered it more difficult to produce a play for children than for teenagers and young people and said: "I think I don't have the ability to produce a play for children. Artists  who are active in this field are doing a great job, but sometimes we see content and interactions that are not suitable for the target age groups, but we must keep in mind that teenage theater can be close to adult performance.”
