We were reminded of the need to return to the teletheater/ show in the heart of the football program – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr reporter, the program “Football is life” was broadcasted by Elham Hatami every night at 11:00 PM on the Nasim channel at the same time as the 2022 FIFA World Cup was held. It ended with the end of the World Cup. One of the items of this program, which was directed by Ayub Aghakhani, is teletheaters with the theme of football and life.
Ayoub Agakhani, the director of the theater, told Mehr reporter about the return of teletheater to television: “Perhaps it is not possible to say with certainty that this part can start a trend, but it reminds us of an old and serious need, which is the importance of breathing theater in the media.” I hope that these teletheaters will become an excuse for others to take a more serious look at this story and try to move in a completely empathetic position towards preserving and not losing the arm of the audience’s connection with the theater through the media.
He added: This short item can easily initiate the production of teletheater on television or at least it can remind special attention to theater on television or the need of theater people to be on television.
Neglect of theater on television due to the tolerance of managers who once had a hand on fire
This actor said in this regard: This item can give pause and focus on the use of theater in the space of a television program or in a larger perspective in the national media and remind us what a great possibility existed in the media, but unfortunately due to tolerance and The tolerance of managers who once had a hand on fire, we have lost this possibility.
This theater director explained about the audience’s acceptance of the teletheater part of the “Football is Life” program: According to the testimony of my personal observation and the reports that I have heard from more official sources, this part, which I have been responsible for producing as an artistic and television director, Compared to other sectors, it has become very visible and I believe that there is this need, desire and expectation from the media, which is so serious that if even in one sector Short of a program, teletheater still attracts as much attention to itself and even more attention than other parts of a program.
Agakhani said about the stories narrated in the teletheaters of the “Football is Life” program: the genre of stories is not limited to football, but focuses on life and football. To be honest, I am in a position where talking about this will be somewhat excessive in the sense that because this part of the program was successful, we are drawing conclusions, but the reality is that the theater has the duty to delve into different layers and themes that may not be expected. In other words, theater places the lens where other arts may never approach these points in a natural frequency. What contribution can football make to the layers of real and everyday life, is a question that an art such as theater can linger on.
This writer and director believes: the role of the theater is always to pay attention to the current concepts of the society from another angle. This other angle is so important that if it is ignored, the fundamental and historical mission of the theater has been neglected. I think parts of the success of these teletheaters are related to the fact that it showed football from a different angle; An angle that has always been curious and interesting for the audience.
Aghakhani stated: Even if it is not so, the audience of the theater has always been looking for some form of thought and entertainment. When considering this happening, you must vote for the success and health of this look. Accordingly, we have tried to entertain the audience and look at the presence of football in different layers of society with a generally humorous look from an angle that naturally the program itself could not look from that angle due to the mission it is pursuing because it has to somehow He would log in completely directly to export the examples he wanted.
Theater forces the audience to think about the phenomena
Aghakhani pointed out the historical task of theater and that it always shows a phenomenon from different dimensions and prism-like to the audience and added in this regard: Theater can force the audience to think about a phenomenon. Perhaps the definition of the audience will change after this thought. This has always been the task of the theater, and thank God that in this program, while we have been committed to the mission and mission of the program and have followed the general desire of the program, we have not strayed from this eternal mission of the theater. It is natural that I owe this achievement to each and every one of my colleagues in this program.
He said about the audience’s reception of teletheater in “Football is Life” program: Fortunately, the image of work has been presented to the audience in a high-quality and dignified way. With all the ups and downs and restrictions that are naturally institutionalized in the nature of production and with all the buts and ifs and whys, when we have been able to achieve quality in a simple, intimate and small space. , while it makes me happy more than anything else, it also points to the fact that the audience still welcomes these products and I hope we can provide them with more food of this kind.
Agakhani said about reaching the shape and structure of the teletheater in the “Football is Life” program: From the very beginning, when Mrs. Hatami, the producer of the program, put me in charge of the production of this segment, I knew what food I should serve based on the dish I have. For this reason, we imagined this part in our performance imagination in the theater and proceeded with theatrical elements; We abstracted the space into a show and while insisting on performing believable moments, we tried to implement all the restrictions and limitations of the theater and the elements that are considered a contract in the theater in this program; From the audience’s presence in the theater to the more or less forgotten tradition of opening and closing the curtain to the decor that is not supposed to be “it” but brings “it” to mind; We put it all together but with absolutely cinematic decoupage.
This theater director emphasized: I tried to remind the empty place of theater in the cultural portfolio of families, or in other words, to point out the weakness of the presence of this product in this portfolio. I think that thanks to all the factors of the program, we were able to have a correct point in our operational goal and to reach the desired result with a relatively considerable speed.
This theater director hopes that these short teletheaters will be a means to overcome the indefatigable priorities and tolerance about teletheater until reaching a point where, according to Aghakhani, the audience will know that in a part, share or time of the wide and narrow range of the media, they can interact with the world of theater and the world of show from The teletheater valve has a connection.
