We need to reconsider the educational atmosphere of the theater / “The Last Supper” is a show for thinkers

According to the Fars News Agency’s Art and Media Reporter, these days Massoud Delkhah is on the theater stage with the play “The Last Supper”. Regarding the subject of this play, Delkhah said: The subject of the Last Supper is a familiar subject for the people of literature and art; Both the famous Last Supper painting and the stories and narrations that are narrated from the last days of the life of Jesus (pbuh). And in “The Last Supper” we have dealt with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (pbuh) by a Jewish ruler, the betrayal of Judas and the survival and ascension of Jesus Christ, which is an Islamic concept.

Regarding the narration of the play “The Last Supper”, he added: “This play is narrated from the apostles of Jesus Christ (PBUH) and the Marys of the story, which include the Holy Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene and Mary Lazarus.” They have the end of Jesus Christ’s life, his crucifixion, his return to life, and his disappearance and ascension.

The director of the play “The Last Supper” continued: “According to the apostles and the four narrators of the Gospels of Jesus Christ (PBUH), he was a messenger of peace and friendship.

Regarding the sources of this play, Dalkhah stated: The text of the play The Last Supper is based on the novel of the Master and Margarita, which tells the story of the trial of Jesus Christ and the betrayal of Judas. According to it and the narration of the ascension of Jesus Christ (PBUH), he will be present on the stage live until the end of the play.

He continued: “Gospel narrations have also been used in the play that the writer and director, after examining all these sources, formed the text of the play with a postmodernist approach, because this approach helps the audience to see a story with all the available approaches.” .

Regarding the purpose of the play “The Last Supper”, the theater director said: The purpose of each play should not be stated by the director, but each work should express its purpose, and my personal purpose in this play is to pay attention to the life of one of the divine prophets. It is praiseworthy in Islam.

“I do not think that adult theater has a duty to advise and convey a direct message, but every artist believes in something, and if it is honestly stated apart from every point of the story, it is no longer necessary,” Delkhah said. To knock his message on the audience.

He added: “We have artists such as Shakespeare, Chekhov, Beckett, etc. who honestly perform their works on stage and convey the necessary message; It is true that every play can have messages, but it does not have to be just a message to a specific point, because teaching and expressing the message of theater is indirect, and the more indirect it is, the more artistic it is.

“Fortunately, we were very well received in the final four performances. I think audiences who are interested in thought-provoking theater and do not want to see just a superficial show will welcome our show,” said the director of “The Last Supper.” کرد; Of course, not every theater is to everyone’s taste, but our play was also welcomed by children because of its semi-musical form, and of course, this was not uncommon for a group of 60 people, consisting of more professional students and artists.

This master of performing arts further pointed out the many problems of the educational space of the theater and said: As one of the theater teachers, I must say that by reviewing this space, it is necessary to prevent anyone from entering the educational space of this field without qualifications.

He added: “The relationship between supply and demand should also be examined. Do we need this number of acting and directing students?” As the number of students in non-governmental universities increases, we need to use people who still need training in coaching.

Dalkhah concluded: “Scattered theater space, without support, is scary and dangerous, like a patient in the intensive care unit, and certainly this patient needs a specialist to recover; The theater should be left to its people.
