Event Description


One Pure Longing

In 1848, at a religious conference in what is now Iran, the poet and teacher known as Táhirih, or “The Pure One” dared to appear in public without a veil.
Táhirih’s mystical poetry and this notorious historical event provide the inspiration for a richly textured theatrical tapestry commissioned by Luminato. Weaving dance, poetry, Iranian, First Nation and African American song, silk work and lamentation into an intense theatrical exploration, a culturally diverse group of international creators – led by renowned director, performer, playwright and teacher Erika Batdorf – challenge all of us to find our own authentic voice and the courage to speak.
