Join us for a magical evening of large-scale shadow puppetry that transports audiences into ancient worlds full of color, history, and stunning imagery at UCLA's Freud Playhouse. An inspirational epic from ancient Iran comes to life in this stunning multi-disciplinary performance created through shadow puppetry, projected animation, music, movement, and theater. More than 480 handmade puppets are used to tell the story of Manijeh, a courageous heroine who uses her strengths and determination to rescue her beloved and help prevent a war.
This show is a celebration of love, fate, and the enduring power of storytelling. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Shahnameh and its timeless relevance. For seasoned theater enthusiasts as well as those simply seeking an unforgettable night of entertainment, this production is not to be missed.
