Persian Gulf to host poetic pantomime performances

TEHRAN, Nov. 10 (MNA) -- A troupe of fifty artists will perform pantomimes on a stage set in the waters of the Persian Gulf in early March.

The pantomimes are inspired by the poems composed by world-renowned poets including Federico García Lorca, Hafez, Rumi, Emily Bronte, Octavio Paz, William Blake and Nazim Hikmet, the head of the troupe Bahram Reihani told ISNA on Monday.

 

Entitled “The World’s most Beautiful and Poetic Pantomime on the Water”, the performances will begin at sunset and continue until sunrise, he mentioned.

 

The performances aim to extend peace, friendship and human relationships through the world, he added.

 

Reihani along with several artists from China, France and Greece plan to give group pantomime performances for 45 days for the benefit of the world’s starving children in Utopia, Nigeria, and Indonesia.

 

Reihani and a large number of artists performed one of the world’s largest pantomimes at Tehran’s Mellat Park in late August.

 

He also performed a 12-minute pantomime on the summit of Mount Damavand on August 3. His longest pantomime symbolically connected the two Iranian cities of Tehran and Isfahan.
