Student Theater
Moein Mohebalian (IR)
Theatricality as an analytical concept can describe a mutual relationship between an observer and the observed. The proposed theme, “value,” can be studied through different perspectives, for instance, the value of theater, cultural studies, or the relationship between the audience and the process involved in and outside of theater construction. Such considerations, together with performativity, tend to be highly influential in today’s theater, especially student theater. Our garden will discuss the value of working in Iranian student theater.
