said Mahmoud Reza Rahimi (Physical Theater Actor, Director)
It could either be good or bad to hold a thematic based festival
If we want to hold an international thematic base festival, the international section could be much better if not to be held periodical but permanent, by inviting foreign guests and troupes during a year
(instead of only at festivals) to manage workshops and perform their play here, we could have wide range of theater plays here in Iran and then we could manage a thematic base festival. Most of the western countries have had very good experiences at holding foreign workshops during a year and they really improve their theater.
Also, he said about Student Theater at Iran and that we should put more Emphasize on this Theater so it would grow up and then as we’re saying “Theater For All”, we should try to advert and export our Young generation’s theater all around the World.
