Arash

Arash is a retelling of the ancient Persian tale of Arash the Archer, a foundational Iranian myth. A play by Bahram Beyzai, mastro of eastern and Iranian traditional theater, film maker, play writer, director and etc.

​

Millennia ago, Arash was sent by the Shah to fire an arrow from the top of a mountain, thereby ending decades of bloody war between Iran and Aniran and ushering in a glorious era in Persian history.

 

This Persian myth may be new to them, but local audiences will find in it universal themes that translate across cultures and time: That hope, belief, hard work, and persistence matter, and that, in a world short on heroes, even an ordinary person can make a difference.
