Complex narratives of acid attack victims at an art event
In a play, three of the victims of the acid attack share their complex and painful accounts of what happened to them.
Theater News Base: This program will be held on Saturday, the 2nd of Bahman in Shahrzad Theater, during which the play “Jan Sokhteh” written and directed by Mehta Mohaddes will be read by Shaghayegh Dehghan and then the stories of three victims of acid attack will be presented by them.
“Burnt Soul” is a monologue about the victims of acid attacks, and in addition to reading this play, three of the victims of this sinister phenomenon will also present their stories.
Mehta Mohaddes, the director of this program, based on the events that happened to these three victims of the acid attack, has compiled narratives that will be presented by performing them.
As Mohaddes has previously told ISNA, these narratives are very complex and very different from what we have heard so far, and incidents such as the acid attacks in Isfahan.
This program will be held with the presence of a group of theater and cinema artists, and in this regard, the present artists will also submit a letter to the Islamic Consultative Assembly.
So far, various works in the form of films, photos, etc. have been made on the subject of acid spraying and supporting its victims, but this time the artists are trying to pursue legal action in this field in addition to performing a work of art, and their ultimate goal is to draft a bill. Prohibition of buying and selling acid is free.
Mehta Mohaddes, a young theater director who has previously organized other charitable programs, has invited guest lawyer Negin Haghighat, a lawyer, in her new program to pursue a bill to legalize the sale and purchase of acid. Slowly
This letter will be given to the present artists on the same day of the program and will be followed up in the following days to be presented to the parliament after collecting the names and signatures.
All proceeds from the play will go to Leila, one of the victims of the acid attack, who needs help with her surgery.
The play “Jan Sokhteh” will be read at 6 pm on Saturday, the 2nd of Bahman, in the presence of a group of theater and cinema artists at the “Shahrzad” theater.
