Asheq: Ritual Music To Cure a lover

Type of Art:  Theatre

Date: Sept 19th @ 5pm

Location: Dal Arts Centre- Dunn Theatre

Set in a sun-baked fishing village on the shores of the Persian Gulf, Asheq explores forbidden love, a family divided by long-held secrets, and a community balancing traditions and the modern world. The play culminates in a zar exorcism ceremony to rid a young man of the “sickness” of his love for an outcast young woman, that reveals a father’s long-buried secrets. See a workshop presentation of Asheq in it’s early stages of development under the artistic leadership of Onelight Theatre’s Shahin Sayadi.
