Performance Storytelling by Xanthe Gresham, with music by Arash Moradi
Aerial artiste of the spoken word, Xanthe Gresham, dives headlong into the wild mythology of Persia, to perform sections of The Shahnameh - the epic masterpiece The Book of Kings - accompanied by the remarkable Iranian musician Arash Moradi.
Magical horses, epic heroes, and consuming passions abound in this world of romance, lust, tragedy and war. Here fathers and sons may be strangers in battle; selfish Kings move others like chess pieces across the board for their own amusement; beauty can be both a gift and a curse, and femme fatales condemn young men to journey through fire.
