Final Ceremony of the 3rd Ordibehesht of Iran's Theater
The 3rd Ordibehesht of Iran's Theater came to its end in the presence of artists and authorities on May 20 in Shiraz.
The artistic deputy of the Culture & Islamic Guidance Ministry, Hamid Shah Abadi, took part in the final ceremony of the celebration and said:
"Established by Hussein Parsai (the Dramatic Arts Center' director) the Ordibehesht of Theater should be considered as a permanent tradition which promotes and enriches lots of Iranian rituals and aims to appreciate the veteran theater artists. The celebration provides a proper field for the artists' works to be seen."
"Theater does not belong to a special social class; in fact, the government wants it to affect the young generation's mind. Theater has the potential to transfer most of our cultural paradigms and Islamic traditions to the new generation." He continued.
"We should make use of the possibilities provided by the Ordibehesht of Iran's Theater and look at the future."
At the end the bests of the 3rd Ordibehesht of Iran's Theater were awarded.
