BIO
For 750 years, the writings of Persian poet and Sufi mystic Jalal ad-Din Rumi have continued to resonate. Many of his insights came through his encounter with the dervish Shams-e Tabrizi. It set him on an inner roller coaster that challenged him to let go of his knowledge and reach for a higher level. A major effort that still captures the imagination today.
A brand new ensemble seizes Rumi's life and his special bond with Shams for an all-encompassing spectacle, complete with a unique set, creation of music and choreography, dazzling dance and poetry.
Osama Abdulrasol (composition, qanun, oed), Farnoosh Khodadadeh (daf, vocals), Pelin Başar (ney), Shahab Azinmehr (setar, vocals), Damla Aydin (cello), François Taillefer (multi-percussion), Khaled Al-Hafez (vocals), Işıl Bıçakçı (choreography, dance), Griet Desutter (words) and Filip Standaert (direction).
De voorstelling ging in september 2023 in première als seizoensopener bij Ha Concerts met twee uitverkochte concerten. Lees het interview dat ter gelegenheid daarvan werd afgenomen.
