سخنرانی آقای دکتر همایون مهاجر | تصوف و عرفان در ایران
(شرکت برای عموم آزاد است)

دکتر همایون مهاجر به رغم آنکه در ابتدا در مقاطع لیسانس و فوق لیسانس علوم اجتماعی تحصیل کرده و سپس دکترای کایروپتریک اخذ کرده بود ولی از جوانی به شعر فارسی و سپس عرفان علاقه‌مند شده و در این موضوعات زمان بسیار صرف مطالعه و پژوهش کرد. دلبستگی او به مولانا و شعرش از میانسالی رخ نمود و وی در آن راه آن اندازه ره پیمود که به مقام استادی در تدریس شعر مولانا و عرفان رسید

Feathers of Fire

Persian Shadow Play by Hamid Rahmanian

Friday, Apr 20, 2018  7:30 pm

Cullen Performance Hall at UH

Feathers of Fire: A Persian Epic is a visually breathtaking cinematic shadow play for all ages, created by Hamid Rahmanian, a 2014 Guggenheim fellowship-winning filmmaker/visual artist. The play unfolds an action-packed magical tale of star-crossed lovers from the 10th-century Persian epic Shahnameh (‘The Book of Kings’), – Zaul and Rudabeh, who triumph at the end against all odds. Rahmanian’s graphics, derived from the visual tradition of the region, will be rendered as puppets, costumes, masks, scenography and digital animation, all of which will come to life in a “live animation” shadow casting technique perfected by shadow master Larry Reed on a cinema-size screen. The play also features an original score by the acclaimed musical team, Loga Ramin Torkian and Azam Ali. Feathers of Fire had its world premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2016.
