🔴 Malevi to Aleppo; Kurosh Zerai, in his last interview, talked about religious art.
🔸 The late Korush Zerei, director, actor and former director of the Center for the Performing Arts at the Cultural Heritage Organization, reflected in an interview his experiences in the religious theater, his collaboration with the late Perjula Salahshor and the revival of the "Children's Theater in the Mosque" movement. According to him, the character Levi in the narrative of Slasher symbolizes resistance against wrong decisions of the group and protection of innocent lives; This very feature made his role stand out in the series.
🔸In the 1990s, a cultural heritage organization decided to launch a movement called "Mosque Children's Theater" to discover artistic talent in mosques and neighborhoods and nurture a generation for revolutionary theater and cinema. When I became head of theater in the organization in 2016, aware of the benefits of this movement, I revived it. Today, the children's theater movement in the mosque has grown into a large community. Its goal is to cultivate a generation that is both committed and skilled. Revolutionary art only succeeds when it does not sacrifice aesthetics for mere slogans and respects the intellect of the audience.
🔸The play "Shemesh Karvan", which we staged in Iran, was supposed to be staged in the "Al-Nukta Mosque" in Aleppo - the real setting of the story - with Syrian actors. The people of Aleppo were unaware that such a story had taken place in their city; Most of the audience members were Christians, including pastors. The movement had such a profound effect that Julani and his group issued a statement against the demonstration and released a video claiming that "Khomeini's soldiers" had come to steal the minds of their children. 📌.
