The “misunderstanding” of Tehran-Albert Camus takes place in the theatre hall of the Sahne Abi Cultural Arts Centre in Tehran.
Faezeh Seyfi oversaw the 70-minute play and performed with Pegah Moshtaghi, Houman Niknezhad, Masoud Soltani, Fatemeh Bidi, Armin Hasani and others.
Written in occupied France in 1943, “Misunderstanding” focuses on Camus’ idea of ”absurdity.” Because the lives of all people are full of misunderstandings, it is not only a simple play, but a story of all human life.
It is the life story of a man named Jean, who returns home away from his mother and sister while he is married and earns money to leave his mother and sister. Upon entering the guesthouse run by his mother and sister, he realizes that after all these years, his family did not recognize him upon arrival.
Misunderstandings can be more or less reminiscent of aliens. A tragedy reminds me of the loss of opportunity once again by portraying the death of the family’s son Jean. When he falls into an accident and believes in the power of events, it can be said that he kills himself from jokes and play. So you can’t be a stranger forever, you need to find your own meaning.
Camus’ play is a return to Greek theatre from a structural standpoint. The dryness of the murders of two women, another crime, murder within the family, a chain of fatal crimes that lead to unstoppable, unadjustable progress in initial intent, and themes of recognition.
The three-act play is a tragedy of modern people, and the plot of the text, like Camus’s other works, is problematic related to the philosophy of existentialism, including human freedom, emptiness and the futileness of life. It’s about looking. Anxiety about existence, arrests of modern people, and the inevitable situation.
The play is a highly subjective presentation by Camus of the human condition, as he saw it in the hopeless situation of 1942-43. It reflects several aspects of Camus’ life. He left Algeria, and he became deeply attached to him, leaving behind his second wife and friend. He was depressed due to tuberculosis. Not only are they threatened with executions as a propaganda agent of French resistance. Camus once described as “misunderstood” the play that resembled him the most.
Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a French philosopher, author, playwright, journalist, world federalist and political activist. He was 44, the second youngest recipient in history after Rudyard Kipling, who was 41, and was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature. , “fall” and “rebel army.”
Philosophically, Camus’ views contributed to the rise of philosophy known as absurdity. Some consider Kamus’ work to show that he is an existentialist, despite his own firm rejection of the term throughout his life.
Camus’ novels and philosophical essays are still influential. He is remembered for his skeptical humanism and his support for political tolerance, dialogue and civil rights.
“Misunderstanding” will remain on stage at Sahne Abi Center, at Valiasr St. 1595 No. 1595, after Taleqani Junction until March 4th.
