CASE STUDIES Theatre Bazi: The Mute Who Was Dreamed (Iran)
Theatre Bazi (Iran) Theatre Bazi's The Mute Who Was Dreamed was the first presentation of Iranian Theatre in the UK for over 20 years and produced in the UK by the Centre for Performance Research (CPR), who organised a UK wide tour in April 2002 for Theatre Bazi which also included performances at Castle Theatre (Aberystwyth), Riverside Studios (London) and Chapter Arts (Cardiff). It was also subsequently presented by Jane Frere Associates as part of the auroranova festival for the 2002 Edinburgh Festival Fringe The Mute Who Was Dreamed was a political and poetic piece performed by one of the leading figures in contemporary Iranian theatre; writer, director and actor Atila Pesyani and his Bazi Theatre Group. The piece was shown at a time when tensions were high between Western Governments and their counterparts in the Middle East. The play is a deeply symbolic story of a deaf mute child and her relationship with her carer, told without words but in a series of images and sounds. "If dialogue between the west and the world of Islam is what the world needs now, then this show seems as good a place as any to start." (The Scotsman)
