CROWN/تاج
Company Scheherazade
17th June | 19:30 | Montgomery Theatre
Join us on a journey to find HOME.
CROWN/تاج is the UK’s first touring production combining classical Persian dance, contemporary dance, and Sufi movement to tell a story of displacement, identity, and body sovereignty to an original soundtrack of live classical music and electronica.
Using Persian miniatures, lived experience and the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, the 3 lead dancers take the audience on a journey from determination through struggle to release. Finding courage, resilience, and joy along the way.
The cast features brilliant contemporary and classical dancers and virtuoso classical Persian musicians to bring you a moving, exhilarating, and energetic experience.
CROWN is a celebration of the transformation which takes place when you realise home is within yourself.
