TEHRAN – Troupes from Spain and Switzerland will perform at the 35th Fajr International Theater Festival, the organizers announced on Saturday.

Spain-based Argentinean clown and puppeteer Roberto White will stage “Dreams 1”.

The performer wears a house-shaped hat and tells the story of the things happening in that house using figure theater and pantomime.

Spanish theater troupe Senor Serrano led by Alex Serrano will also stage “Birdie”.

“Birdie” is a multimedia performance with live video and objects, which tries to show the contrasts between the modern world and nature.

Swiss troupe Trickster-p led by directors Cristina Galbiati and Ilija Luginbuhl is scheduled to perform “Twilight”.

“Twilight” tries to create both an aesthetic and emotional experience by breaking the barrier between stage and visual arts.

Twenty foreign troupes will perform at the 35th Fajr International Theater Festival, which will be held in Tehran from January 20 to 31.

Troupes from Spain, France, Iraq, Turkey, Georgia, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Greece, Japan and several other countries will perform during the event.
