Secretary of 24th International Children & Young Adults Theater Festival
Call for Participation with "Childhood, Mate of Stories" Theme Soon

Secretary of 24th International Children and Young Adults Theater Festival said that the call for submission of plays with the theme of ""Childhood, Mate of Stories" would be released in the near future.
Maryam Kazemi, secretary of 24th International Children and Young Adults Theater Festival, said that the festival's invitation for participation would focus on its theme and long-term objectives of the children theater, irantheater.ir reported.
On the changes in the invitation, Ms Kazemi said that no fundamental changes would be made but the approach would be different given the theme and the objectives.
Every section would be important and no priority would be given to any section, she said, explaining that the question would be why each section was singled out for the festival and what the responsibility of officials, children theater artists and lovers would be.
On "Childhood, Mate of Stories", which is the theme of the festival, Ms Kazemi said that the theme would be a continuation of previous editions and had taken its roots from shortages facing children theater in Iran.
""Childhood, Mate of Stories" aims to lay emphasis on the importance of story, storytelling and type of stories in a road to approach the audience," she said.
The call for participation would prioritize simplicity, coherency of groups and how they would approach the artistic ideals, secretary of the festival stressed.
Ms Kazemi said that her job would be in line of the previous secretary of the festival, Shahram Karami. "What Mr Shahram Karani has done throughout the years in different fields of children and young adults, especially being a secretary of this festival could not be ignored to do a new job or make innovation," she said.
