Iranian troupe misses Armenian theater festival
TEHRAN, Oct. 13 (MNA) -- Financial problems have hindered the Emruz theater troupe to travel to Yerevan to participate in the HIGH FEST, an Armenian international performing arts gala.
The General Office for Dramatic Arts (GODA), which is affiliated to the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, has informed Emruz theater troupe director Pantea Bahram that they could not cover the cost of tickets to Yerevan due to financial problems.
“I was informed about the issue just one night before the day when we were scheduled to leave Tehran for Yerevan,” Bahram said on Monday.
The troupe had been rehearsing over the past few weeks to stage “Made in Iran” during the festival, which was held from October 1 to 8.
Bahram said that the festival organizers had been deeply disturbed by the cancellation of our performance from the festival schedule.
She said that the GODA knew earlier that they would not be able to cover the cost of tickets. “We had been led on by their statements,” she added.
Sara Reyhani, Amir-Reza Delavari, and Dariush Fa’ezi are other members of the Emruz theater troupe.
Focusing on carpet weaving and Iranian culture, “Made in Iran” was Bahram’s directorial debut that was staged at Tehran’s Qashaqai Hall in 2005 under the name of “Avizhak”.
