Farzanegan — The Last Minutes of the Road
A narrative of the bus accident involving the female students of Farzanegan School in Kerman.
This piece, coinciding with the anniversary of that tragic incident on February 7, serves as an elegy for the final minutes of the road—those heavy, fateful moments that shaped the future of several brilliant girls from Kerman’s Farzanegan School for the Gifted. The bus returning them from Shahdad camp overturned near Sirch junction; a journey just minutes from home ended abruptly, claiming six shining stars.
The quartet narrates precisely those last minutes: shadows deepen, tensions surge into mid-piece frenzy, then fade to scarred whispers—ensuring the echo endures for dreams left unfinished.
