Fajr International Theater Festival

“Theater is an art that can generate sympathy among Muslim nations, because it is formed based on dialogue,” said Zarei and noted that the world needs to engage in dialogue to avoid wars. In calls published on social media, groups of Iranian artists have asked their colleagues to boycott all Fajr festivals, which are organized every year to celebrate the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, in support of the unrest that has struck the country over the past four months.
