As I was getting ready to leave, he rehearsed the last part of his show, where he dances an Iranian dance (Hush, don’t tell anyone I told you this!) A talented actor… An excellent playwright… And a really good director… Mansour Taeed is a very special man.
Mansour hopes to be able to bring Iranian audiences to his play, starting that “healing process” he was talking about earlier.
He then went to look at Nima and Niloufar’s progress on the video clips they are developing to promote his show. This whole production has been a one-man-show, with a little help from his young multimedia expert friend, Nima, and his daughter Niloufar. His children are beautiful and kind to him and to visitors like me!
I asked Taeed about the challenges he has faced in staging his play.
I went through the suitcase that Taeed carries with him on stage during his play, containing his mementoes and memorabilia. It is an impressive collection which he fondly describes during the play. For example, a “leegheh,” a small container of ink used for Iranian calligraphy, written with pens made out of real bamboo shoots. And a manual hair clip used by old Iranian barbers to cut young boys’ hair.
