Fajr Int値 Theatre Festival Underway in Iran

IFP- A total of 14 plays were staged on the eighth day of Fajr Int値 Theatre Festival on Friday, January 27, at different locations in Tehran, ISNA reported.

腺aloon, a play from the Netherlands directed by Dutch actress-director Boukje Schweigman, was performed at Iranshahr Theatre.

Competing in the Nation痴 Theatre section of the festival, the play is a journey exploring boundaries and space and a trip through light and darkness in which Schweigman and two other actors played.

Directed by the Polish actor and theatre director, 舛horus of Orphans was staged at Hafez Hall.

The play was an abstract, wordless performance of the ordeals suffered by children whose parents have died; and used the situation of an orphanage as metaphor for living in Poland.

Unconventional Swiss Play

An unusual play from Switzerland was performed at Molavi Hall. Tilted 禅wilight, it was more like an artistic installation than a real theatrical performance as it had no actor and no story. The set included five benches and lots of lamps which were turned on and off during the one-hour play. The set design was accompanied by music and sound of cars in the street, dogs barking, rain falling, storm and piano melodies among other sounds.

Director of the work, Caristina Galbiati, said lighting and sounds served as the actors in his production and the story unravels in the audience痴 mind.

Acclaimed Iranian author, translator and head of 閃ardom (people) Theatre Group, Dariush Moaddabian, also came to the festival with three productions staged at Entezami House Museum in the Fajr+ section which is non-competitive.

In 羨n Adventurous Day for Mr. Falentin written by German comedian and author Karl Valentin, Moaddabian has combined 8 short comedies by Valentin which he has translated and performed earlier. The play will be performed on Sunday and Monday.

然eading Golestan, based on tales from the famous book by the classical Persian poet Saadi, will be staged on Saturday. In the work, Moaddabian plays the role of Saadi as the narrator.

善ostal Order and Gumidan Family is another play he staged on Thursday. It was a mix of two short comedies by the late 19th and early 20th century French dramatist, novelist and satirist Georges Courteline.
