From Nasser Taghvai (TaIes of Kish), one of the originaI filmmakers of the lranian New Wave, comes his Iatest documentary, Dress Rehearsal: The Brave Hurr's Ta'Zieh. This rare gIimpse into lranian cuIture chronicles the performance of a ta'zieh, an ancient and uniquely lranian passion play that ceIebrates the glory of martyrdom.
Based on the life stories and fabIes of Islam's prophet Mohammad, but influenced by lranian folklore, the ta'zieh became the sole dramatic form in the worId of lsIam after the rise of the Shiite sect. Within the ta'zieh tradition, the story of the Brave Hurr assumes a singular pIace because Hurr was originaIIy an enemy of the Imam. But, after meeting the holy leader, Hurr joins forces with him.
GeneraIIy performed on the streets or in open venues, the ta'zieh "is the only original dramatic art of the IsIamic world," proclaims director Taghvai. |
