Synopsis
A powerful and disturbing re-telling of one of the masterpieces of Eastern culture, Kalila Wa Dimna. These allegorical animal fables, intended as a book of counsel for kings, literally a ‘mirror for princes , retain immense significance across all levels of society in the Middle East to this day. This production is from the point of view of the stories creator, Ibn Al-Muqaffa, a courtier living in Iraq circa 750 AD during one of the most turbulent and exciting moments in Islamic history; a time that not only saw the birth of Baghdad and the Islamic Empire but was also the golden age of Arab culture. This modern theatrical fable is a timely exploration of the politics of Empire and the narratives of power.
