Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved

Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved is an intercultural performance created and directed by Iranian mezzo-soprano Nazanin Dast Afkan. Rooted in Persian poetry and Iranian music, it brings these traditions into dialogue with Western classical music through voice, live ensemble, electronic sound, narration, dance and projected poetry. Moving through love, separation and hope, the performance invites audiences to celebrate two artistic traditions while discovering the shared human emotions that connect them.
