JMDT | IRANO KONFERENCIJA rež. Aleksandr Špilevoj

Iwan Wyrypajew THE CONFERENCE OF IRAN A play in two parts

A scientific conference is held at the University of Copenhagen. Speakers of the conference are influential scientists, public figures, representatives of the clergy. At first glance, the play looks like a social or even political dispute between the heroes about democracy, liberal and conservative views, human rights and freedoms, and the geopolitical situation in today's global world. But as soon as the action gets going, it becomes obvious that this story is not about politics at all, but about the personal experiences of the heroes, their wounds and desires.
The author of the play, Iwan Wyrypajew, speaking about his play, says:
"I see that today many progressive people on the planet, on whom important changes in society depend, are increasingly asking themselves the question: Is there a solution that works for everyone from this critical global situation? And what is this critical situation? What is the problem?
The problem is that we humans have not learned to live on this planet with each other. Outside the window is the 21st century, and we still divide territories, divide each other by blood, nationality and race and believe that the spiritual path we recognize is the only right one. How to live in such a world? The global world has become small. We are all like residents of a communal apartment. We are at war and suffering from that war.
Finally, today in the so-called progressive circles (scientists, politicians, businessmen, artists) the topic of the meaning of life began to be heard. All of us are slowly coming to the conclusion that in order to make a difference in our world, we need to understand what is the meaning of our lives and what is the meaning of life in general. And if earlier these questions seemed related to esotericism, religion and philosophy, today they are increasingly being raised in the most important business forums, political discussions and scientific conferences.
What is the meaning of life? And is there any meaning to life outside of this question itself? The most important thing becomes obvious: even if for many people the meaning of life is a mystery, this question is still becoming extremely acute and important for an increasing number of inhabitants of our planet. There is no point in running our business, carrying out political reforms and practicing art if we do not have a firm understanding of why we are doing it and where we are going. So for me personally, this play is about Knowledge.
But I would like everyone to discover something for themselves."
