FIERY FACE TO FACE
A boy and a girl. They come from two different worlds, and neither is allowed into the other's universe. But the reality of theatre is a bit more complex. At a long table that splits the audience in two, master dancer Foroud and his young female student, either mistress or muse, clash in a fiery confrontation. The man and the woman are like Iran and India, like the tension between temporal power and spiritual practice. The professor's discipline evokes a dictatorship about to collapse in the face of passion, for in front of him the call of liberty makes itself heard by means of an elusive femininity that, like the Hindu goddess Shiva, prefers destruction to submission. Values are changing in Iran, as are the arts. The writer and director Amir Reza Koohestani, an incandescent figure in that rapidly changing nation, makes that apparent in disturbing fashion in this face-to-face encounter of tightly wound restraint.
