What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its three-decade continuous run under one host city gives it institutional depth few Iranian theater festivals for any age group can match, and its formal recognition of foreign participants' contributions to children's theater signals a deliberate international-exchange mission rather than incidental foreign attendance

02

The mystery stays covered

Listed among ASSITEJ International's affiliated events, it sits inside a global children's-theater network

03

The city starts moving

Unlike Mariwan's outdoor street theater, Hamedan's performances run in indoor theaters and cultural centers, with programming and safeguarding built specifically around a youth audience
