The 6th edition of a Tabriz national street theater festival began in Tabriz, with theater groups from various provinces across the country gathering at the historical and cultural site of El Goli Park, in Iran’s northwestern province of East Azarbaijan.
The festival includes the participation of theater groups from East Azarbaijan, West Azarbaijan, Zanjan, Ilam, Isfahan, Gilan, Kurdestan, Lorestan, Tehran, and Khuzestan provinces that compete in categories such as concept and idea, stage design, female and male acting, directing, costume design, makeup, and music.
A total of 127 entries were submitted from 17 provinces and 35 cities for the festival. Following the preliminary evaluations, 24 have been selected to take part in the festival. These include 15 works in the competition section, six works in the special section for children and adolescents, and three works in the traditional section.
The 5th edition of the event was held in 2018, and after a hiatus of nearly four years, the 6th edition marks its revival.
