A rare live U.S. staging of a classic Persian literary work, and the Los Angeles stop of its U.S. premiere tour, The Conference of the Birds comes to life on stage for a limited engagement.
Written by Farid ud-Din Attar, this 12th-century Sufi masterpiece is reimagined through visual storytelling, music, and movement (Sama) in a powerful, immersive production. The story follows a gathering of birds, led by the wise hoopoe, as they journey in search of the elusive Simurgh—their divine king—crossing seven symbolic valleys that reflect the human path toward truth, love, and self-realization. Many fall away along the path, unable to release fear, ego, or illusion. Those who endure reach a profound and transformative revelation.
Both mystical and deeply human, this one-of-a-kind performance invites contemporary audiences into the heart of Sufi philosophy—offering a moving meditation on purpose, awakening, and the search for meaning.
A must-see cultural event in Los Angeles, this production offers a rare opportunity to experience a timeless Persian epic brought vividly to life on stage.
