The growth of the theater with more than 1.5 million audience in the half of 1402+ chart


Fars News Agency – Theater Group: Culture and art are always a suitable goal for people who intend to create a margin, a high audience and being in sync with people’s free time are two important elements that have made art and culture an important element to create peace or disturb it.

Among different arts, theater and performing arts are perhaps one of the most important, that’s why artistic directors are trying to promote the theater and some have aimed at its peace to show the uneasy conditions of the society.

By seeing the condition of the country’s theaters and even visiting the theater ticket sales portals, one can see a general perspective of the theater conditions and of course the audience’s acceptance of it, because the audience is definitely one of the most important aspects of the art of drama and if there is no representation of the performance of any show It is without reason.

Shahr Theater at its peak

Today, while some media are trying to tell about the suffering of those who sit on the screen, the art of acting is doing well. According to the latest statistics, only “Back to Black” by Sajjad Afsharian has experienced a box office of nearly 6 billion Tomans in the main hall of Shahr Theater.

This show, with a total of 64 performances and hosted by 35 thousand 144 audiences, has sold five billion 656 million 350 thousand Tomans.

Apart from this show, other current works of Shahr Theater are also in good conditions, the show “Susmar” with 23 performances 2192 spectators, the show “Waiting for Godot” with 5 performances 436 spectators, the show “Hayden” with 69 performances 6440 spectators, the show “Kesi for one” A sad gorilla doesn’t do anything” with 26 performances, 1033 spectators and “Avignon” with 25 performances have attracted 1033 spectators.

Nearly 2 million visitors per half year

Teatarshahr, as one of the important theater centers in the country, has recorded acceptable statistics for itself. Apart from this, the country’s theater complex also has defensible conditions. To check these conditions, one of the most important ways is to look at the statistics of the number of audiences and performed works. These numbers can create a correct view of the country’s theater situation.

According to the statistics received from the General Administration of Performing Arts, Iranian theater had about 1 million 638 thousand audience in the first half of this year, this number was nearly 2 million 407 thousand audience in the whole of last year.

If this reception continues in the second 6 months of this year to the same extent as it happened in the first 6 months of this year, this number will reach more than 3 million audience.

This prediction is while the art exhibition is usually more popular in the second half of the year due to the presence of the main theater festivals, and the final statistics of 1402 will probably be more than this.

The path of theater and the impact of Corona

The conditions of the audience and the number of theater performances before the spread of Corona are not comparable with today, Iranian theater had the record of the largest audience in 2017 and has experienced nearly 8 million and 200 thousand audiences in one year.

This number of audience in the previous year, i.e. in 2016, was nearly 5 million and 500 thousand people, which means that it has experienced a significant growth in one year. In those days, they became known as luxury plays, shows that were performed in hotels with more capacity than usual theater seats instead of in theaters.

The statistics of the theater in 2016 show nearly 4 million audience, this number was almost 3.7 million in 2014 and 2.2 million 200 thousand people watched plays in 2013.


The statistics of the number of theater audiences in the years 1995 to 1997 and the last 2 years

This statistical growth was stopped after the spread of the corona virus and the loss of breath of the theater for a year.

The year 1400 was the beginning of the theater activity after Corona, the year 1401 these efforts put the theater on the path of its regrowth so that the art of drama can be returned to its peak days with proper planning.

The statistics of last year and the first 6 months of 1402 show the resumption of the path that was destroyed by the spread of the corona virus, but the difference between this period and the previous period is the number of theaters and infrastructure, many theaters were closed during the corona period and others They were not able to continue their activities, which caused more damage to the private sector of the theater.

Current conditions and hope for prosperity

Maybe if you compare the conditions of the theater in the last few months with the beginning of the year, you will come across a significant difference, the theater has started its path and is moving forward. Perhaps there are few artists who are no longer active in the theater, not after the events of last year, which they were angry with after the corona virus and the end of the theater.

But the important point in this is proper planning to support artists and revive a part of the lost halls, of course, paying attention to the city and decentralization is one of the promising points of the current situation, so that in this year’s statistics, a large part of the number of audiences and works for abroad It is from Tehran.
