The musical show "_Chapter Som..." (Nishtari on the river of history), written and directed by Behzad Abdi, will be staged at the end of November this year.

According to Ambassador Arjan, quoting the public relations of the event, this work was created with an Iranian text and centered on the destiny of Amir Kabir, and in its structure, story, music, singing and movement are connected with each other. In this show, in addition to the performance role, music and singing are also present in advancing the narrative and expressing the conflicts of the characters.

Previously, foreign musicals translated and performed in Persian have been staged in Iran; But "_Chapter Soum..." (Nishtari on the artery of history) is designed in a musical format based on Iranian text and music; A type of show in which music and singing are the main elements of the narrative.

The story of the show begins in the office of a history researcher who, under the pressure of expediency, abandoned the third chapter of his thesis. Facing a character named "Bitter", he steps into the world of Qajar and comes across a story about the fate of Amir Kabir and the relationship of man with history.

Composing the operas "Ashura", "Molvi" and "Hafez" directed by Behrouz Gharibpour is one of his prominent activities. The operas "Molvi" and "Hafez" have been published by Naxos International Publishing House. The combination of Iranian instrumental music with the capacities of Western classical music is one of the characteristics of his works in this field.
