The 17th Marivan Street Theater Festival crowns the winners

Hamid Nili, Director General of Dramatic Arts, mentioned the motto of the 17th Marivan Street Theater Festival as security, cheerfulness, empathy and kindness and stated: I believe that street theater expresses the concerns that are explicitly planned with the audience and for the people.

 

He described the street theater as a popular stream and said: sometimes the authorities can find the solution to problems and concerns from the theater. Street theater is an art in which artists invite people to solve problems, and during these few days, uncountable joy reigned among the people in Marivan.

 

He went on to say: In street theater, we go to the people, the characteristic of street theater is that issues are raised and summarized in a short time, therefore the performance should be short, there is hope that the artists of this field will pay more attention to this point.

 

Seyed Fateh Badparva, artistic director of the 17th Marivan Street Theater Festival explained: I thank the people of Marivan; This festival is for people and artists, and if the officials didn’t help, we wouldn't have witnessed such an international event today.
