When: Wed., Sept. 12, 9 p.m. and Sept. 13-14, 8 p.m. 2018

Shahin Sayadi’s musical theatre piece—workshopped at last year's Prismatic Festival and returning in 2018 for its full debut—will make your lovesick heart skip as it shares the tale of two lovers in southern Iran: A disapproving family attempts to cure a would-be Romeo of his case of caught feels with a zar exorcism, a tradition brought to the region by escaped African slaves, before a shocking revelation comes to light.
