Razavi street theater festival will be held once again
Karim Jashani, the secretary of Razavi Khorasan Performing Arts Association, said in the continuation of the meeting: My concern in the field of street theater is that the Razavi Street Theater Festival will happen again in Mashhad after several years with government and private support.
He noted: I hope that the stage part of performing arts is very good; In the street sector, we have this courage and can host the Razavi Street Theater Festival. In any case, the origin of this process and those activities that are carried out in the cities show this ability and power, and in my opinion, the street theater with the limited facilities it needs, can be one of the measures to reach the top productions of the cities.
Jashani added: Even this type of theaters is being revived in the cities to get out of the darkness. Therefore, street theaters need less credit and budget than a stage, and we hope that with the continuation of meetings in the country, the management of theater programs, especially street theaters, will be realized as best as possible and we will achieve this goal.
