Alireza Shoja Nouri pays tribute to the late legendry Pari Saberi

Alireza Shoja Nouri, an Iranian theater, cinema, and television actor who played the role of Saadi in the play "Bagh Delgosha" directed by Pari Saberi nearly 11 years ago, provided Iran Theater with a short note on the occasion of  first of Farvardin, the birthday of the late artist Pari Saberi.

Pari Saberi was an Iranian theatre director and Knight of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, awarded by French President Jacques Chirac

Shoja Nouri wrote: "I had always known Pari Saberi from afar, and with great admiration and respect, I would follow her and be satisfied by seeing her works. Ebrahim Esbati was a wonderful friend who composed music for Saberi's productions and generously spread joy and excitement to his companions! He had recommended me to  Pari Saberi to play the role of Saadi!”

He wrote about Pari Saberi ‘s personality: "From my first meeting with Pari Saberi until my last meeting, which was on Nowruz several years later, I saw no sign of old age or even middle age in her! She was full of thoughts, plans, and plans, and of course, she also had a special sense of humor! During rehearsals and performances, from before the beginning to after the end, she would watch everything with enthusiasm like a little girl. Perhaps because of her physique and age, she could not play like a child, but she had a child's spirit in her head and heart! I learned a lot from her.”

He described her skills as director: “From a wink to a short speech, she would do whatever was necessary to guide the actors, artists, and companions, and on nights when the performance had weaknesses, she would appear in front of the stage like a fairy with a smile and cuteness! ! We missed her.”

He ended his note, "I think the Vahdat Hall also misses Pari Saberi very much."
