TEHRAN. (HONARONLINE) – The lead cast of Iran-Turkey co-production Drunk on Love, directed by Hassan Fathi, includes Parsa Pirouzfar as 13th-century Persian poet Molana Rumi and Shahab Hosseini as his spiritual instructor and close friend, Shams Tabrizi.
Directed by Parsa Pirouzfar, new play The Visit has gone on stage in the City Theater of Tehran until 21 May. The Visit is a 1956 tragicomic play by Swiss dramatist Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The play is about an enormously wealthy older woman returns to her former hometown with a dreadful bargain: She wants the townspeople to kill the man who got her pregnant, then jilted her. In exchange, she will provide enough money to revitalize the decrepit town. The townspeople eventually agree.
Directed by Parsa Pirouzfar, new play A Summer Day has gone on stage in the Nazer Zadeh Kermani Theater until 17 August. Written by the celebrated Polish dramatist and cartoonist Sławomir Mrożek, A Summer Day is an abstract story of love. Pirouzfar also acts alongside Reza Behboudi and Sogol Qalatian. Sepideh Khosrojah, playwright and director, has translated the play into Persian. Pirouzfar, 45, has previously directed “At Sea”, another play by Mrożek. First published in 1983, A Summer Day tells the story of two rivals, who have unlike natures. One embodies naive hope in the face of constant failure and the other exhibits cynical ennui in the face of copious success. The two men first compete over whose life is the worst, then over the affections of a manipulative and narcissistic woman who interrupts their suicide attempts to become their mutual obsession. Mrożek, 1930-2013, is one of the prominent playwrights and satirists of Eastern Europe. His theatrical works belong to the genre of absurdist fiction, intended to shock the audience with non-realistic elements, political and historic references, and parody. He has published fourteen plays and ten short stories.
TEHRAN.(HONARONLINE) - Actor and director Parsa Pirouzfar will bring on stage an absurd play “A Summer Day” written by the celebrated Polish dramatist and cartoonist Sławomir Mrożek at Iranshahr Theater in late June.
