The play unfolds an action-packed magical tale of star-crossed lovers from the 10th-century Persian epic Shahnameh (\u2018The Book of Kings\u2019), \u2013 Zaul and Rudabeh, who triumph at the end against all odds. Rahmanian\u2019s 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 \u201clive animation\u201d 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.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Feathers of Fire Persian Shadow Play by Hamid Rahmanian Friday, Apr 20, 2018 \u00a07:30 pm Cullen Performance Hall&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2671,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-non-icf-events","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
