Referring to the story of the show “Flying is my dream”, he continued: “The story of our show is about a girl who falls into a coma on the way to university due to a car accident, and her organs are donated to three other patients. Cultivating the culture of organ donation in our city is so valuable that Neishabur ranks first in organ donation in Khorasan province and third in the country in this regard.”

The artist added: “We tried to show an effective work by addressing the global concerns that all the people of the world are involved in and to build culture.”

Masoudifar explained that pantomime is very helpful in conveying the message: “The strength of pantomime is that people around the world can easily communicate with each other.”

Pointing out that the Zanjan International Pantomime Festival is a very honorable event, he added: “The idea of ​​holding an international pantomime festival is very valuable, pristine and respectable, especially because it has an educational approach. Addressing issues such as the environment, global concerns such as peace, etc., will create culture and connect people all over the world.”

In the end, Masoudifar said: “If the International Pantomime Festival can go towards public performances and the spread of this art among the people, it will be commendable.” In fact, we have to take pantomime to people even if they don’t want to be in the hall, perform our works in public spaces and introduce people to pantomime, because if this program is within a group, it won’t be anything special. »
