"In the name of the Creator of art and the giver of spirit to the stages, this year, the Fadjr Theater Festival celebrates its 43rd anniversary. It can now be claimed that this festival is a robust tree in the fruitful garden of Iranian theater, which has been nurtured and continues to flourish thanks to the contributions of great artists over the years. Therefore, it is fitting that under its shade, all theater practitioners, regardless of their tastes and viewpoints, come together to make a double effort for its growth as a valuable heritage for the theater of future generations. This festival is a gathering for reunions; a meeting characterized by affection and thought between artists and their audiences, who have always been the mainstay of theater.
The 43rd Fadjr International Theater Festival is a manifestation of hope, effort, and faith in the power of art. Every work that comes to life on the stages is a testament to the dedication of artists who draw from the deepest layers of their thoughts and feelings to build a brighter world, embracing every opportunity to create a bridge of trust, unity, and companionship between themselves and their audiences, from the Iranian community to the global stage. I am grateful to all those who, with love and effort, have turned this festival into a point of convergence for dreams and reality, and I hope this event continues to inspire new movements and serve as a bright window into even more brilliant seasons of our country's performing arts.
I sincerely thank all the artists and organizers of the festival and ask the kind God for hopeful and vibrant days for the art and artists of my country."
The 43rd Fadjr International Theater Festival will be held from January 22nd to February 2nd 2025, under the presidency of Kheyrollah Taghyanipour.
