Behind the Curtain

Drama Reading

An intimate drama reading of The Legend of Creation by Sadegh Hedayat.

Genre: Symbolic & Philosophical

The Legend of Creation is part of the Behind the Curtain series—an ongoing exploration of dramatic literature through live reading, interpretation, and audience reflection.

This reading invites the audience into a poetic and symbolic world shaped by existential thought, myth, and philosophical inquiry, where language becomes a space for questioning existence, creation, and human meaning.

Through performance and minimal staging, the focus remains on the text itself—its rhythm, imagery, and layered interpretations.

About the Reading

This is an interactive reading format that emphasizes text, voice, and presence rather than full theatrical production.
The audience is invited to engage with ideas as they unfold in real time.

About the Author

Sadegh Hedayat was a pioneering Iranian writer and thinker whose works explore existential themes,
modern alienation, and philosophical introspection. He remains one of the most influential voices in modern Persian literature.
