The Iranian theater director, Alireza Asadi is planning to stage his
award-winning play Gauntlet for the Armenian audience.
Written by Mehdi Nasiri, Gauntlet was earlier staged in Iran under the
title of The Votes and chosen as the top play by the country’s Isar
Playwriting contest and the 11th Resistance Theater Festival.
The play is about an Iranian-Armenian journalist, whose family insists
on leaving Iran after he returns home after months of captivity in a
Kurdish village during the Iraq-Iran war.
Sponsored by Iran’s Cultural Office in Armenia, Gauntlet will be
staged from Dec. 4 to 6, 2009, with a slight change in the text and
performance style.
