Theater

The Theatre Section of the second Mehr Festival featured eleven selected theatrical works performed on 30 September  till 1 October at the Mehromah Cultural and Artistic Complex, under the theme Mother.

During the Theatre Café program on 3 October, jury members discussed the evaluation process, emphasizing diverse aesthetic perspectives, the importance of strong direction, and the relationship between performance and audience. Suggestions were also made to support future productions through acting workshops.
