“The White Feather”

Gerald W. Lynch Theater 524 West 59th Street, New York

The White Feather is a Persian ballet tale that follows the inner child in all of us who yearn to express themselves freely and demand sovereignty. In tribute to Persian culture and ballet, through a child's eyes, we witness the evolution of Iran from its ancient roots to the present day. Act One, sheds light on the history of Iran's National Ballet and its untimely final curtain and unsung heroes of Iran’s first revolution. In Act Two, we behold a child's transformation into adulthood under an oppressive regime, and the fire within that sparked a nation's call to freedom, led by women. Original Music by Shahrdad Rohani.
