San Francisco International Arts Festival is pleased to present a world premiere of "Let the Wind Sweep Through, a Conference of Birds" by Crescent Moon Theater Productions in collaboration with Metzmecatl: Moon Rope Theatre.
The premise of "Let the Wind Sweep Through a Conference of Birds" is that the seven seas are drops of rain. The moth seeks to know the flame. What is the longing that stirs in you? And what is the most you're willing to do?
Bringing together Sufism tenets elucidated in the famous Persian poem, written by Attar of Nishapur in 1177 CE, with the metaphoric landscape of Underworlds described in Nahualismo, the ancient spiritual tradition of Mexico, we embark on a journey to free heart, mind, and the mystery within us and before us.
Using physical theatre, aerial dance, shadow puppetry, music, and poetry, the artist of Crescent Moon Theatre and Metzmecatl: Moon Rope Theatre tell an old story for a new era.
