The Story of Imam Hussain8pm - Aphra Studio

The Story of Imam Hussain (Based on a Si'i Tradition)

By following the history of Iranian Ta’ziyeh, this performance aims at coming close to Si´i culture. It tries to build a bridge between storytelling and the dramatization of a historical event, utilizing religious conventions as creative elements. These have been elaborated as part of the cultural relocation of the form and within the dynamics of the group, originating a cultural frame within which we have explored our own practice.

This piece is the culmination of this years MA Par student Felipe Cervera.
