Mohammad Kazemtabar, the secretary of the 20th International Festival of Resistance Theater following the death of Kuresh Zarei, called this veteran theater artist a part of the resistance narrative.
According to Saba, Mohammad Kazemtabar, the secretary of the 20th International Resistance Theater Festival, released a message of condolence following the death of Koresh Zarei, a veteran artist of theater, cinema, and television.
The text of this message reads:
“In the name of God
Some artists cannot be remembered only by their works; They are part of a path, part of the memory and identity of the stream that they have tried to keep alive for years. Korosh Zarei was of the same gender for the theater of revolution and resistance.
He was among the artists who connected the art of drama to bigger concerns and had an effective and respectable presence in the ups and downs of the years of committed theater activity. For the theater family, especially the resistance theater, his name is a reminder of his companionship in different periods of this festival and participation in the path that follows the narrative of a nation’s standing, identity and ideals on the stage of the theater.
His loss is not only the loss of an artist and a well-known figure of the theater; The empty place is a human being who is part of the memories and experiences of this artistic family with his presence and company. Undoubtedly, what remains of artists in the memory of a cultural current is not only their works; It is the beliefs they remained loyal to and the paths they took to continue it.
I offer my condolences to his respected family, the artistic community of the country, and all his companions and lovers on the death of Korosh Zarei, and I pray to the Almighty God for peace and divine mercy for the late artist.
