Years Pass From This Photo

Years Pass From This Photo

"Years Pass From This Photo" is a stage performance in the format of "photo-reading" by Bahauddin Morshedi (Baha Morshedi), which was staged on October 17, 2015 (25 Mehr 1394) at Baran Theater House in Tehran, directed by Ehsan Gerayli. This work presents a different narrative of old and family photos, redefining the concepts of life and death within a space that blends performance, art, and storytelling.

The story of this performance revolves around "photo-reading"—that is, the narratives hidden behind each old and family photograph. By intertwining photos, narration, and poetry, it creates a contemplative atmosphere about concepts of time, death, and longing for the past. The director, Ehsan Gerayli, says about it: "The effort of this performance, with its emphasis on the theme of death, is to redefine life... Photographs sometimes capture a moment, a smile, and joy or sorrow, and give them existence." This show marked the first theatrical stage experience for contemporary poet and songwriter Shams Langroudi, who performed alongside Bahauddin Morshedi.
