Amsterdam’s KIT is slated to stage the Iranian puppet show ‘Cow’.
Iranian puppet show Cow is to be staged at the Royal Tropical Institute
(KIT) of the capital city of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.
Written and directed by Hamed Zahmatkesh and Mehdi Farshid-Sepehr, the
award-winning puppet show will be performed for Dutch schoolchildren
for six days and for the public for one day.
Produced by Iran’s Organization for the Intellectual Development of
Children and Young Adults (IIDCYA), Cow recounts the story of two
men who come across a cow on their way to the land of ‘nowhere’.
The script of the play will be translated into Dutch so that the
children can enjoy the show in their mother tongue.
Cow has participated in numerous national and international events
including the fifth High Fest International Performing Arts Festival
in Yerevan, Armenia.
Hamed Zahmatkesh received the Best Stage Designer award for Cow from
the 14th Isfahan Theater Festival for Children and Young Adults.
