Iranian play ‘Confusion’ heads to Georgian theater festival
Iranian stage production ‘Confusion,’ written and directed by Mohammad Amin Sadi, will be performed on July 28 at the Regional International Theatre Festival in Poti, Georgia.
The play, an adaptation of French author Joël Egloff’s novel ‘L'Étourdissement,’ will represent Iran at the festival alongside 10 other productions from France, Romania, Georgia, and Lithuania.
Staged by Tehran-based Amitis Theater Group, ‘Confusion’ will be performed at 3:00 p.m. in the State Professional Theater Hall in Poti.
The production has already logged over 70 performances in Tehran and gained national attention for its nominations in directing, acting, costume, and makeup design at Iran’s prestigious Fajr International Theater Festival.
The international poster for the show was designed by Hamed Farahi. The cast includes Fardin Rahmanpour and Sahar Ghassemi, who performs in form and shadow roles.
Sadi described the piece as a “loose adaptation” that blends French dramatic literature with a local theatrical language. The work explores states of mental and social disorientation—“confusion”—through movement, silence, and fragmented storytelling.
The Regional Theater Festival in Poti, now in its latest edition, brings together emerging and established companies from across Europe and beyond, aiming to foster “regional dialogue” through the performing arts.
