We create original plays, revisit classical work and translate the plays of Iranian dramatists. Led by Iranian-Canadian director, Soheil Parsa, the company’s work has performed in Colombia, Cuba, Iran, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Denmark.
\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”8″ ][cs_element_text _id=”9″ ][cs_content_seo]Themes of loneliness, the mystery of existence, the search for happiness and truth, and the conflict between Fate and Will are often at the centre of Modern Times’ works. The productions are usually placeless and timeless ; design elements are ultimately more like archetypes. Archetypes transcend cultural and political borders, and this is what the company strives for in its creations: to move away from ideology towards a human vocabulary that speaks across civilizations.
\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”10″ ][cs_element_text _id=”11″ ][cs_content_seo]The company has been honoured with 16 Toronto Dora Awards and has been nominated for sixty. Director Soheil Parsa has received several national and international distinctions.
