The Public Theater welcomes Haleh Liza Gafori for an uplifting and transportive evening of music and recitation, immersing us in the images, rhythms, and liberating messages that pulse through the poetry of the beloved mystic and poet Rumi. An acclaimed translator, performance artist, and vocalist, Gafori will be joined by Grammy-nominated musician Shahzad Ismaily and friends to celebrate the release of Water, Gafori's translations of Rumi's poetry and a follow-up to the much-lauded Gold, both published with NYRB Classics. Singing and reciting in Persian and English, Gafori will weave original musical compositions, stories, and translations into a moving tapestry of word and song.
