Iran Segane honored at Lviv Golden Lion in Ukraine

Iranian troupe Segane has been honored at the Golden Lion International Theater Festival in Ukraine.

The event presented two Golden Lions and certificates to the troupe’s popular performance titled ‘The Holocaust’, which includes plays of ‘Women’s Auschwitz’ and ‘Holodomor’.

The performance was staged on the closing day of the festival in early October.

Seganeh earlier performed the plays at the Theatre on Pechersk in Kiev from October 4 to 6. The troupe will also stage ‘Holodomor’ at the Fajr International Theater Festival in Tehran in January 2022.

‘Holodomor’ and ‘Women’s Auschwitz’ are parts of a trilogy written by Ali Safari about the three historical events that claimed millions of lives during the twentieth century.

Safari helmed the troupe in performing ‘Women’s Auschwitz’ at the Golden Lion, and ‘Holodomor’ was directed by Raha Haji-Zeinal, who staged the play at Tehran’s Neauphle-le-Chateau Theater earlier in February.

After Ukraine’s ambassador to Iran, Serhii Burdyliak, watched a performance of the play, Segane was invited to several Ukrainian festivals, including the Melpomene of Tavria International Theater Festival, which was held in Kherson on September 3-11.
