This theatre, known in the specialized structure of stage performances as a black-box space, has been renovated and equipped in an area of 13 by 5 meters and features specialized facilities including lighting and sound systems, a control room, two makeup rooms and acoustic space.
The opening of the Master Nasirian Theatre at Saadi Cultural Center of Kish has increased the island’s cultural and artistic capacities to host stage performances and specialized programs and provides a more suitable space for artists and cultural groups to operate.
Mohammad Kabiri, CEO of the Kish Free Zone Organization, on the sidelines of the ceremony, emphasizing the necessity of balanced development of the island, said: The belief of the Kish Free Zone Organization is that balanced development of Kish is not possible without strengthening the infrastructure of education and culture, and this path will continue in cooperation with the Ministry of Education.
He added: In the educational field, in cooperation with the private sector, it is planned that next year two more schools will be added to the new schools of Kish so that the development of the island’s educational infrastructure will continue.
Kabiri, referring to the opening of the Master Nasirian Theatre, said: This complex was one of the infrastructural needs of the island’s cultural and artistic activities and one of the requests of Kish’s cultural and artistic community, which, after renovation and equipping, was made available to artists.
He added: The first theatre performance will also be held on Sunday, 20 September in this theatre, and the path of strengthening Kish’s cultural and artistic infrastructure will continue with strength.
Alireza Monadi Sefidan, Chairman of the Education, Research and Technology Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, also on the sidelines of the ceremony, referring to the importance of developing educational and cultural infrastructure, said: The development of these spaces indicates continued attention to the country’s education and culture, and the path of support for these areas will continue despite conditions and limitations.
Referring to the cowardly attack on the Shajareh Tayyabeh School in Minab and the martyrdom of the students and teachers of that school, he added: These actions cannot halt the country’s education path, and efforts to increase schools, classes and educational capacities will continue.
Monadi also, appreciating Mohammad Kabiri’s approach to education and culture, said: The management’s view of the Kish Free Zone Organization toward education and culture has provided a suitable ground for the development of these sectors.
The opening of the Master Nasirian Theatre at Saadi Cultural Center of Kish is a step toward completing the island’s cultural and artistic infrastructure and, by creating a specialized space for staging programs, provides a basis for greater support of artists’ activities and cultural groups.
