We perform Azerbaijani ritual motions and folkloric dance as a certain part of Iran and Azerbaijani people culture\u201d said Hajibabaei during his interview with ISNA regarding Aylan\u2019s participation in ritual and traditional festival.<\/p>\n \u201cThis time, we are going to have a stronger performance in comparison to the past and we do our best to keep alive perform publicly the rituals, traditions and customs of Azerbaijan.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso we have performed in several international festivals, including but not limited to France, Vienna, Czech Republic, Georgia, Italy, Russia, Bulgaria, etc. and grabbed first prize in six festivals\u201d said the director of \u201cAtisma, Yalli, Ain Tovlama\u201d ritual play.<\/p>\n \u201cThis festival, which is held bi-annually, is a quite good opportunity for us as a ritual group, and enables us to show what we can do. It is also quite helpful for protecting and introducing such plays\u201d he stated concerning the role and effect of ritual and traditional festival effect on protecting games and ritual motions.<\/p>\n Saying \u201cI consider ritual and traditional festival as the most famous domestically held folkloric festival.\u201d, and added: \u201cmore similar festivals are held internationally, I believe we should care more about this festival and invest more on that as a means to keep alive rituals and culture of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe should go deep into the villages to perform such games and motions. However, some games and traditions in Tehran date back to two centuries ago, but nowadays children in cities and villages are more in fond of computer games and these games are fading among children. Therefore, we should do something to help these games regain the previous position.\u2019 added Hajibabaei in another part of his interview, upon emphasizing that ritual and traditional games are more related to our ancient culture, traditions and customs.<\/p>\n \u201cThese games and plays are not solely for entertainment and pleasure, but are an important part of culture and past of the people of a city. Ritual motions and dances have come out of the hearts of people, each related to a certain tradition (thanksgiving, dancing, rejoicing)\u201d he continued, emphasizing that ritual motions and games must be identified, recorded and preserved.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cIn case a proper basis and atmosphere together with promotional support on holding these ritual motions are provided, we shall definitely have more public welcoming, as the people are more pleased with those traditions and customs they have grown with as a certain part of their culture in comparison to a culture originated in another country\u201d expressed this director of ritual plats on public welcoming for ritual and traditional plays.<\/p>\n \u201cI only wish to see we have more support. Azerbaijani dance is both an art and a kind of sport. I hope that we will be more successful in 19th<\/sup>\u00a0festival.\u201d Hajibabaei said at the end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n News Reports from Aylan Group performance during 19th International Ritual and Traditional Festival in Tehran<\/p>\n (Fars News, Isna, Irna, Iran theater , Festival Theater, Honar Online and Ilna News)<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ISNA\u2019s interview with Master Tohid Hajibabaei: A ritual performance director talked about the role of traditional.
