Fajr International Theater Festival

“Although many artists have been threatened, yet they have persisted eagerly in their decision to participate in the festival,” Zarei said. He expressed his thanks to the participants and viewed the calls to shut down theater as “oppression of people”. “Theater is an activity that never is closed; by shutting down theater, we would be depriving ourselves and the people of it,” he added. The theater festival will be followed by the 41st Fajr International Film festival.
