Tehran – The Iranian Artist Forum (IAF) in Tehran will be holding the play “Kasper,” written by Austrian playwright Peter Handke, from June 8th.
The solo performance of the hour of play was directed and performed by Farid Adhami and performed for three weeks at the Entezami Hall at IAF, Honaron Line reported.
It was Handke’s first full-length drama, published in 1967. It portrays Foundling Casperhauser as an almost speechless, innocent, innocent, destroyed by the attempt by society to impose his language and his own rational values.
“Kaspar” is loosely based on the story of Kaspar Hauser. At the age of 17, raised in a dark hole, he knew only a single sentence in a German town in 1824, and became a scientific curiosity. This is a tablalasa that can be written with impunity by almost adult people, society and its science teachers, with almost no language or external influences.
The play is about language and the ability to torture. In this play, Handke allows us to listen differently, and we can look back at how language is forced by a society where conformism is the norm and has received a speech that is the near-tyrannical exploitation of the individual.
It is also a play that suggests that individuals denies themselves under the pressure of the society they live in. What Casper experiences on stage can happen every day. Need or imitated to conform, observe, imitate, assert ourselves, and at the same time denying ourselves.
Individuals can also invent themselves using language. In “Kaspar,” Handke writes:
Handke himself wrote in the prologue of the play: “The play “Caspar” shows how someone can speak through what they say. Theatre can also be called speech torture.”
