One night in Teheran we went to a theatre play called "Walk on wet pavement".
Sadegh and Pari had received an invitation by a
member of the company and we joined them. The play was in persian:
which means that I could not understand the plot very well, even
though the actors were very skilful (and well known). However, the final
scene was easy to get: (almost) everyone died. Including the good
hearted characters.
Implicitly the play was a strong criticism of the values of the Iranian
society (as strong as a critic can be in such a regime). Almost a
challenge to the two portraits of Khomeini and Khamenei hanging on
the two sides of the stage.
After the show we waited for the actors to come out and we greeted
them. They seemed happy to have an international audience. :)
