TEHRAN -- The Iranian theater troupe Giti plans to read “How Can I Be a Bird” to raise funds for earthquake victims in the southern Iranian province of Bushehr.
The play reading will be directed by Ruhollah Jafari at Tehran’s Hafez Hall on May 25, some Persian news outlets announced on Tuesday.
The play has been written by the Paris-based Romanian writer Matei Visniec. It is about a man with a wing in place of his right arm who was born like that. There are people who believe that he was born to deliver a message to humanity.
The reading performance will commence at 6 p.m. at the hall located on Shahriar St.
Jafari staged the play at the 30th Fajr International Theater Festival in Tehran in February 2012.
His troupe has previously performed “Horses at the Window”, “The Spectator Sentenced to Death”, and several other Visniec’s plays in Iran.
Many villages were totally leveled by several large quakes in regions in Bushehr Province in April.
