The Conference of the Birds

Performance Dates
-
A theatrical adventure soars in this poignant 12th-century Persian fable about the search for the divine. The New York Times says, "The play is a flying carpet gliding us aloft into a land of mystery, splendor, and ritual." Newsweek says the play "Brilliant work that challenges most of our ideas of what theatre is, ought to be, and can do. This exquisite piece represents the perfection of Brook's work."
