The Language of Dance 3

The Last Feather of Simorgh

An immersive fusion of dance, theatre, music, and art inspired by the cultures and stories of Iran.

The Language of Dance 3 is more than a dance performance. It is a multidisciplinary theatrical experience where dance, theatre, live music, visual art, poetry, costume, and storytelling come together to tell one larger story.

The journey begins with the search for the last feather of Simorgh, the legendary bird of Persian mythology. But as the story unfolds, the search becomes something much deeper: a discovery of identity, connection, and the invisible threads that bring us together.

Highlights:

• Follow the search for the last feather of Simorgh through an original theatrical story.
• Experience the diversity of Iran through Persian classical, contemporary, traditional, and regional dances.
• Discover a unique combination of dance, theatre, music, and visual art, where movement, character, sound, costume, and imagery work together to bring the story to life.
• Special guest performers join the production, bringing together artists from Vancouver and beyond, including guest dancers from the local Bale Melli Pars, an aerial dancer from Toronto, and a classical ballerina from California.
