آخرین اسفندیار

The story of Rostam and Esfandiar is one of the most celebrated and compelling stories of the Shahnameh, which the author brings into the contemporary world with a fresh perspective. Drawing on the techniques of Iranian theatrical tradition, he weaves together time and place. The battle between Rostam and Esfandiar is, at its outset, a conflict between religion and nationalism, each of the two figures embodying one of these forces in human history. And in the end, it becomes a philosophical reflection on human perspectives, the tragic weaknesses of humanity, and death, which is ever present and always at our side.
