The engrossing story of long-held secrets, a community torn, and forbidden love!
Set in "a vacuity of a place and time" on the shores of the Persian Gulf, Asheq is the engrossing story of forbidden love, a family divided by long-held secrets and a community torn between stifling traditions and modern freedom. The production blends music, projection and live storytelling to tell the captivating tale of a father's life and death battle with himself and his son. The play culminates in music and movement, as the son is forced into a ritual zar/exorcism ceremony to rid him of a "sickness" - his love for an outcast woman.
Shahin Sayadi stars in this play - he brings to life a multitude of characters, their loves and their struggles, their births and deaths, all laid bare on stage in a time-bending, perspective-shifting tale that takes audiences inside the inner struggles of characters and the inevitable clashes in the family and community.
