Defamiliarization of the Spectator of the Stage: A Look at the Plays "Fault" and "32 Minutes of the Story" Written and directed by Farhad Ayesh - Starring Farhad Ayesh and Maedeh Tahmasebi Behzad Sedighi Modern life necessitates that sometimes a playwright, based on the speed of twentieth-century life, writes plays shorter than those written by their predecessors, and the modern director also engages in a performance with the atmosphere and space of today's life. From Interpretive Theater to Visual Theater: As the writer and director of the two plays "Fault" and "32 Minutes of the Story," Farhad Ayesh strives to show this alienation and loneliness to today's spectator and audience. At the beginning and end of the play "Fault," as well as the play "32 Minutes of the Story," practically nothing special happens because the spectator does not encounter a specific incident, event, or dialogue; instead, on the contrary, they encounter a story and conversations that excite them, and they mostly see the lives of a man and a woman who continue their lives in a monotonous and even boring manner—a life based on repetition, from which various meanings can be interpreted; that is, the interpretation of the meanings of these two plays causes the theatrical event and action to occur. Perhaps in none of the plays we have witnessed so far has such an example existed: two actors, a man and a woman, with almost identical costume design and makeup designed in the style of a Mime, under constant lighting that remains on the stage after the end of each scene, perform their roles artistically.
