Song of the North
An epic Persian love story told through a large-scale, cinematic performance combining the manual art of shadow puppetry with projected animation to tell the courageous tale of heroine Manijeh. This story employs a cast of 500 handmade puppets and a talented ensemble of nine actors and puppeteers, all of which come together to create a spectacular experience that advances the themes of unity, collaboration, and experimentation through performance and story. Song of the North, adapted from the Book of Kings (Shahnameh), challenges the Eurocentric worldview of art and storytelling through a contemporary multimedia experience of this classic Persian tale.
