Iranian National Ballet
Dear compatriots,
I am glad to be able to present to you the project of recreating
the Iranian National Ballet, which has been dissolved after the revolution
of 1979 in our country.
"Les Ballets Persans" as an internationally touring ballet
ensemble intends to present a repertoire including works inspired from
our golden culture and arts. With patriotic ambitions this ensemble intends
to remind the world of the glory of the Persian culture. For this purpose
we aim to use the intercultural language of ballet to uphold the dignity
of an ancient culture in this difficult time of exile and segregation.
As the founder of this artistic enterprise I have prepared the artistic
resources for creating the Ballet Company. There are lots of practical
possibilities and potential that I aim to utilize in favor of our culture,
since some of the world's foremost artistic profiles in this area are supporting
the project.
However, the vitalizing of this project is directly dependent on
the investments and sponsoring offered to the company, since it can not
maintain any governmental support in Europe where it is going to be based,
until the ensemble itself has been founded. Therefore the foundation group
of this artistic enterprise is turning directly to those individuals, institutions,
organizations of any nationality but in particular of Iranian origin whose
participation and support will hurry up the fruition of this endeavor.
It is our greatest aspiration that our goal would encourage those
who would like to witness the culture and arts of Iran, independently of
political interpretations, to be exposed and extolled at an international
level.
There is a complete and detailed project description at www.nimakiann.com for review and study,
which I recommend to you and my other compatriots. I would be grateful
if you would kindly assist to spread the news. Furthermore the foundation
group and I will answer with utmost pleasure any questions concerning this
artistic activity.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further
information.
Sincerely yours,
Nima Kiann
