"I am not interested in explaining about my works, because a show is produced for the audience and I prefer to say my words in my works.", Khakzad says on his show.
He goes on to say: "In the last two years, like many other students, I follow to hold the student festival again. I am happy that the student section has been added in the FITF. I hope that independent student theater festivals will be supported as well."
There are challenges for the production team and the director to stage a student show like "Behind the Door".
