Iran has been hosting ‘Secrets of the Foothills’ theatrical play for the hearing-impaired for the first time in the country.  

Written and directed by Farshid Qolipour, the play is being staged at Aban Theater in Tehran on January 2, 2022.

A sign language translator accompanies the performance on the stage.

‘Secrets of the Foothills’ has been on stage since December 22 and will be on stage until January 7 while audiences who are hearing-impaired have been treated with an exclusive performance on January 2.

Among the actors in the play are Mohammad Asgari, Azin Raouf, Shirin Samadi, and Esmaeil Bastani.

‘Secrets of the Foothills’ is about a place called Koohpayeh where serial killings have taken place and have caused panic. Now that the serial killings have spread to a small town near Koohpayeh, the people of a nearby apartment building need to find a way out.
