The theatre (see previous post) is part of a cultural centre. There is also a public
park, a museum of contemporary art and (in the museum) a shop. We
arrived early in the night and we had time to enjoy the relaxed
atmosphere of the place, waiting for the play to start while sitting on the benches, giving a look at the pieces of art and buying a pair
of earings or a decorated cup with the other members of the audience.
Many of them wore fashionable and colourful clothes; some of them
looked like artists, other seemed to belong to the wealthier class
with their refined appearance.
The general atmosphere of the place was quite European, and I loved it so
much. I felt I could breathe freely, and the regime oppression seemed
farther away. And I was very happy to find out that in Teheran there
is an an active independent cultural scenario.
