در داستان "آتش نوروز"، گردآفرید به روایت پیدایش نوروز و جشن‌های آن می‌پردازد. جمشید، پادشاهی که پایه‌گذار تمدن‌ها بود، روز اول فروردین را به عنوان روز نو شناخته و آن را جشن گرفت. این جشن در زمان او به عنوان نمادی از شکوه و فرهمندی معرفی شد. گردآفرید توضیح می‌دهد که "آتش نوروز" از آیین‌های باستانی کُردهاست، که نشان‌دهنده حرکت رو به اعلا و اتصال به آسمان است. در لحظه تحویل سال، آتش نوروز با سرودهای آیینی و نیایش‌هایی برای برکت، شادی و تندرستی همراه است

About Gordafarid

Gordafarid

The first female Iranian "Naqqal" (traditional Epic Storyteller) of Ferdowsi’s "Shahnameh" (The Epic Book of Kings), Gordafarid has excelled in performing the traditional narration of the Persian epic stories (Naqqali) since 1998.

She has continued her research through the meticulous collection of narratives from all over Iran. She has also patiently followed the footsteps of old masters of this ancient dramatic art.

Gordafarid has come a long way in challenging conventional social norms that consider "Naqqali" as an art form performed solely by men and only for men in public places such as neighborhood coffeehouses. Her perseverance and determination bore fruit when Morshed Torabi, the most famous "Naqqal" of Iran, prized her with his cane to recognize her achievements.

Farhang Foundation has had the pleasure of having Gordafarid headline our annual celebration of Shab-e Yalda for over ten years, and her unforgettable performances have been praised by sold-out audiences and have gone down in the history of our celebrations of Yalda.
