Tehran centers to host two charity performances

TEHRAN,Dec.2(MNA) -- Two theater troupes will give benefit reading performances in Tehran on Saturday. Bahareh Moshiri will direct a reading of “Moon on the Water” at the Andisheh Cultural Center to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake that hit regions in southern Iran last week. Written by Mohammad Yaqubi, the play will be performed by Ana Nemati, Ali Sarabi, Parvin Qaem-Maqami, Hooman Kiaii, Hengameh Hamidzadeh, Vida Javan, Ali Tajmir, Paria Taheri, Raika Purarab and Moshiri. “This play is a good work about human relations and I hope our performance will be as good as Mr. Yaqubi’s play,” Moshiri said in a press release on Sunday. The performance has been organized by Yaraneh Barekat Charity Foundation. A troupe, which will be directed by Piruz Karami, is scheduled to give a reading performance of “His Life” at the Arasbaran Cultural Center to raise money for children suffering from butterfly syndrome. Butterfly syndrome refers to a medical condition in which a person’s skin peels off exposing the deeper layers. This makes the skin appear to be as weak as a butterfly’s wings. The play tells the story of a man who is informed about his wife’s death when he is in a business trip. Afterwards, his lawyer tells him about some secrets of her life. Yekata Nasser, Kambiz Dirbaz, Ammar Tafti, Nazanin Gudarzi, Sanaz Zamani, Abbas Sattarzadeh, and Sina Afshar will perform the reading of the play, which was written by Taraneh Borumand.
