Abstract

The seminar was an attempt to demonstrate the relationship between religion and theatre and the role of religion and religious thinking on the emergence of the art of theatre. According to the chairman, Majid Sarsangi (Head of the Department of Dramatic Art at the University of Tehran), some of the aspects which the seminar wanted to address included the study of the philosophical and aesthetic features of theatre, the research into the social, political and cultural positions of religious theatre and the functions of religious theatre in the contemporary world. A question which was also raised and debated at the seminar (without reaching a final conclusion) was whether religious drama could and should be regarded as a separate genre.
