Feel the heartbeat of Persia
For more than 750 years, the literary works of Persian poet and Sufi mystic Jalal ad-Din Rumi – in which he covers such themes as migration, mental health and tolerance – have inspired us. Rumi was profoundly influenced by meeting the dervish Shams-e Tabrizi. A composition by Osama Abdulrasol explores the lives of Rumi and Shams. It accompanies a performance with a unique décor, whirling dance, timeless poetry and music that goes straight to the heart.
