Ritual Music to Cure a Lover by Shahin Sayadi

Ritual Music to Cure a Lover is the story of today’s Iran. It is the story of youth rising up against their fathers’ choices. It is the story of love overcoming hate; of light destroying darkness. A modern-day love story rooted in ancient Iranian myths. A transformative storytelling experience.

“To tell this important story using ancient mythological figures and make it new and relevant and searingly real is such a clever way to illustrate what’s happening right now in the streets of Tehran and indeed everywhere in Iran.” - NoHo Arts, LA

In Ritual, award-winning international theatre artist, Shahin Sayadi reimagines mythological figures from Iranian poetry, seamlessly shifting between multiple characters and temporalities, while weaving together inter-generational perspectives that provides a panoramic viewpoint into the struggles of a community transitioning from a traditional to modern society. Fighting darkness to step back into the light.

Writen and Performed by Shahin Sayadi, Ritual is a co-production of Onelight Theatre and Media Arts of US and Onelight Theatre of Canada
