PRODUCED by DEAN SHARP & ZOE B. ZAK


The vision of the epic poem, Conference of the Birds, has inspired people since the 12th century CE when Attar Un-Din Attar penned his lyrical Sufi poem. The very subject matter of Conference of the Birds calls for music. Zoe's deep and personal connection with the music and culture of the Middle East drew me to ask her to compose new music for our production. Her work is personal, inspired and one of a kind. With the score, Zoe, Steve and Dean have created a world rich in color and rhythm. It is the breath and sky into which our production of Conference of the Birds has flown on its journey to wholeness.

This exotic and enchanting expression, embodying the vision of the Sufi poem, Conference of the Birds, is born of the soul-stirring atmospheres of the Middle East's World traditions. With haunting and evocative mystery, acoustic and electric instruments coupled with melismatic vocals caress and bewitch the listener, capturing the senses with heavy spices, hot winds, blowing sand and impenetrable veils.
