Theater
Storytelling Festival: The Mountain
Sipan Sezgin Tekin
Een verhaal over verlangens en verwoesting
Deze voorstelling is Engelstalig.
The Mountain is the tragic story of the anti-hero Zahhak, the snake shouldered king of the world. It chronicles his rise to power through that all-consuming desire: Ambition, preceding his inevitable fall. Written down first by the Iranian eleventh century poet Ferdowsi, the story is re-imagined and re-created by Sipan Sezgin, a Kurdish theater maker whose mythical ancestors are the very same mountain folk who liberated the lands of the iron fisted tyrant.
