General audience with special emphasis!

First of all, before I write a note about Jalal Tehrani's The Tank show, I must mention that it takes a lot of courage to stage the show in Molavi Hall, because first of all, this hall is not in a good position in terms of attracting the audience. Here, I congratulate the theater group for this courage and I hope that this group will tolerate the lack of audience.

I think that in the first step, the element that our theater suffers from the lack of is a good script, and the greatest virtue of the The Tank play is a good script. For this reason, I give the first grade to the script of this work, and in the next stages to the direction or acting.

If we want to examine the direction of the show in a brief way, we will come to the point that in this show, the presence of the director is not felt at all, that is, he does not show off and has no appearance to show himself or show off his presence. Of course, this makes the direction of the work stand out, because the director is smart and because the play itself has certain expressive and conceptual complexities, the director has paid less attention to executive complexities, otherwise the story and concept will be lost.

The acting takes over the narration of the text, and this is where actors become very important in this show, because they have to tell the story correctly, without presenting a narrative form. During the show, we see a lot of silences, and this is where you can clearly see the skill and ability of the director, because by creating these silences, he tells his audience that they should think while watching this show and focus all their attention on the acting and dialogues and... Another important point is the presence of timely silences during the show, which are immediately accompanied by the actors' performances and their effective and key dialogues. After saying this briefly, it follows that a good play after having a good script must have a proper rhythm and again the point that is properly observed in this play is its rhythm, although sometimes it may be the audience feels tired, but this tiredness is not due to the imperfect rhythm of the work or any other reason, but only because of the unconventional form of expression of the text, which creates such a state for the audience who is less focused. The show The Tank forces the audience to focus completely on the show in progress, and because of this, the audience follows the show until the end without even a moment of feeling tired and... and finally, it should be mentioned at the end. Considering the two shows that Jalal Tehrani has performed on the stage, named Nefertiti and The Tank and considering the texts I have read from him, I must declare with certainty that Jalal Tehrani has been able to show that the stage and the present and He has understood the atmosphere in it and has formed mise-en-scenes with a proper understanding of his writing space. Hoping to see other plays by Jalal Tehrani.
