Mehr Amphitheater, located on the premises of Hozeh Honari (Art Bureau) affiliated to the Islamic Development Organization, will host from June 28, a loose adaptation a Bertolt Brecht’s play “He Who Says Yes”.
In the play written in 1930 based on a Japanese folk tale, Brecht deals with the issue of reciprocal responsibility of society and those who live in it.
An epidemic breaks out in a remote village. A local teacher with his students embarks on a perilous journey over the rugged mountain terrain to find medicine and counseling from doctors.
During the inhospitable journey, a boy student falls sick such that neither can he continue alone nor can his comrades carry him.
Members of the expedition face a major challenge: either to go back to the village to save the boy’s life, or to sacrifice him for the sake of the general good.
Directed by Houman Rahnemoun, the extended cast includes Bahar Pasban, Nazanin Tajik, Amirhossein Tari, Zahra Tak, Parisa Torabi, Mahsa Torabi, Mona Heidari, Bahar Khosravi, Davoud Garavand, Morteza Karimian and Hossein Nassiri among others, Tiwall.com wrote.
The venue, at the intersection of Hafez and Somayeh streets, will host the play through July 22.
