«The research phase of this project is complete, and the writing is in its final stages,” Shahab said. “It will first be released as an audio production and later as a multimedia stage performance.”
Shahab described ‘Khosrow and Shirin’ as a masterpiece of lyrical literature and one of the world’s most famous romantic epics, with versions existing in other cultures. The story tells the tragic love tale of the Persian prince Khosrow and the Armenian princess Shirin, with the involvement of Farhad.
The multimedia performance will incorporate visual arts and Iranian improvisational art, blending modern and traditional Iranian art forms, Shahab added, the music will be presented in contemporary Iranian styles and performed by an ensemble.
Zohreh Firoozi, known for her acting and singing in ‘Nowhere’ will play the role of Shirin in the upcoming project.
