Rounama Dance 1971

Directed by Hushang Shafti

The 'Rounama' dance comes from a wedding custom that was common in Iran, both in the distant past and more recently. Grooms wouldn't know their brides until the very last moment before getting married, and this unfamiliarity sometimes led to unexpected situations. The creators of the Rounama dance, which has humorous elements, aim to introduce viewers to this old tradition.
