Don't miss the opportunity to see the latest project by Iranain artist and filmmaker Hamid Rahmanian.

A visually breathtaking cinematic shadow play for ALL AGES, this action-packed performance stages the magical tale of Zaul and Rudabeh, star-crossed lovers from the 10th-century Persian epic Shahnameh ('The Book of Kings'). Features over 140 colorful shadow puppets, performers in elaborate masks and costumes, and digitally animated backgrounds, seamlessly choreographed together and projected onto a cinemascope-size screen to give the audience a feeling of “live animation.”

Conceived, Designed and Directed by Hamid Rahmanian
In Collaboration with Larry Reed and Shadowlight Productions
Original Music by Loga Ramin Torkian and Azam Ali

Performed by Aureen Almario, Ya Wen Chien, Caryl Kientz, Rose Nisker, Fred C. Riley III, Mo Talani, Lorna Velasco, and Dina Zarif.
