'Song of the North,' a visually stunning, cinematic-style shadow play for all ages, will have its world premiere February 10 to 13 at Musée du quai Branly in Paris and have its U.S. premiere March 5 and 12 at Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater with educational shows March 7, 8 and 11.
Brooklyn Academy of Arts presents the North American premiere of Hamid Rahmanian's newest large-scale cinematic live performance, Song of the North. Created and directed by Rahmanian and produced by Melissa Hibbard, the show will employ shadow puppetry, animation, movement, an original music score by Ramin Torkian with lead vocals by Azam Ali, and voiced dialogue to interactively tell a tale adapted from the Book of Kings (Shahnameh).
