The connection between theater and mosques was a lasting legacy of Korush Zerai.
Mehdi Shafiai, deputy for art affairs at the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, said in an interview with Tasnim News:
🔹 Before being a great artist, Kurosh Zerai was a dedicated person who in every field worked out of love for the Ashura culture and the Prophet's family (peace be upon them). He wanted art to serve religious teachings and social welfare.
🔹 The most significant and lasting contribution of Korosh Zera was bridging theater and mosques - an important initiative whose benefits continue to this day. His absence is a great loss to the theater world, both as an artist and as a manager and collaborator.
