On the 19th of August 1978; in the southern city of Abadan; Iran; during the screening of a controversial film called Gavaznaha (The Deer); the Cinema Rex was set alight from within. Four hundred people perished; to this day it is one of the largest terrorist atrocities committed against civilians. CINEMA is a new theatrical experience that explores the human and political aftermath of the Cinema Rex Fire in Abadan; Iran in 1978.Performed and created by UK based Iranian artist; Nazli Tabatabai-Khatambakhsh; the play remembers the lives and people behind the numbers and the news stories. It was an event that changed Iranrsquo;s political course; and would lead to the revolution of 1979.CINEMA is tender and explosive; interwoven with an original score; potent projections and delicious language.
