The Iranian play ‘Our Childish World’ was nominated among the top three works of the World Puppet Carnival in Bangkok, Thailand.

Out of the 50 groups participating in the street theater section, ‘Our Childish World’ directed by Hamed Zare’an was chosen among the top three festival works, Honaronline reported.

Warmly welcomed by the audiences and as requested by the festival officials, the Iranian group performed the play seven times.

It is worth mentioning that the group ‘27 Aban’ led by Zare’an was the most promising group in the festival as they have won the top prize twice.

Another Iranian puppet show ‘Nim-Vajabi’ (Itsy-Bitsy), a musical, directed by Amir Mashhadi-Abbas also participated in this year’s round of the festival.
