Comedy of the discovery

Director and Actor: Behnam Alibakhshi, 2014

(Best acting award winner)

This play is a satirical political comedy that uses the story of Christopher Columbus discovering America as a backdrop to critique the roles of power, religion, and the ignorance of the masses.

Drawing inspiration from “Takht-e-Hozi,” a traditional Iranian theatrical form, and blending it with Western comedy, this performance offers a unique and engaging experience for the audience.

The fusion of these styles not only entertains but also provides a sharp commentary on societal issues, making it a thought-provoking and memorable production.
