In an inventive development for the Iranian theater scene, ‘Antigone,’ the first-ever play in Iran produced in collaboration with artificial intelligence (AI), is set to go on stage in Tehran as of September 21.
The play’s poster, designed by Pedram Shahrabadi, has recently been unveiled.
The creators behind ‘Antigone’ used various aspects of AI in different elements of the production, effectively blending human intelligence with artificial intelligence throughout the work, Iran Daily reported.
Directed by Mohammad-Reza Agaah, the cast of ‘Antigone’ includes Mahsa Jamshidi, Pedram Zamani, Parsa Sahraei, and Sajjad Mir.
‘Antigone’ follows ‘Woyzeck,’ making it the second joint work between Sajjad Afsharian and Mohammadreza Agaah in the field of theater.
A poignant excerpt from ‘Antigone’ reads, “When a law is broken… the gates of Greece are also broken… If your father were here today… he wouldn’t give you this permission.”
This innovative fusion of theater and AI technology promises to offer audiences a unique and thought-provoking theatrical experience, setting a guide for future creative collaborations in the Iranian arts.
