INVITATION TIL MEDLEMSAFTEN!


Kære medlemmer og venner af Dansk Iransk Selskab.

Bestyrelsen har hermed den glæde at invitere jer til en spændende foredragsaften.
Denne gang vil kunstneren Vahid Evazzadeh holde et foredrag om taziyeh, det iranske passionsspil. Det iranske passionsspils rødder strækker sig helt tilbage til det gamle Mesopotamien, men er først og fremmest kendt som en platform for islamisk religiøst teater. Igennem moderne tid har det dog også haft en udpræget indflydelse på iransk teater og kultur.

Vahid Evazzadeh har i en alder af kun 28 år opnået succes med teater, filminstruktion og fotoudstillinger både i Danmark og i udlandet.

Foredraget holdes på engelsk og der vil efterfølgende være mulighed for debat med Vahid Evazzadeh.

Medlemsaftenen holdes

onsdag d. 12. maj 2004 kl. 19-21

i Øregårdssalen, Gentofte Hovedbibliotek, Ahlmanns Allé 6, Hellerup.


Bestyrelsen vil byde på en let forfriskning.

Entrè: 30 kr. for medlemmer, 20 kr. for pensionister.

Gæster er hjerteligt velkomne!


Vel mødt!


På bestyrelsens vegne



Gerda Davidian
sekretær
