This captivating performance stages the Persian legend of Zaul & Rudabeh, featuring puppets, a storyteller and shadow casters. This all-ages adventure updates the classic shadow play and melds traditional puppeteering techniques with new media.

FEATHERS OF FIRE, a breathtaking, cinemascope-sized shadow play based on the 10th century classic Persian epic, Shahnameh (The Book of Kings), tells the action-packed tale of Zaul and Rudabeh, two star-crossed lovers of old Persia.

Zaul is raised by a mythical bird in the wild.

His deep love for Rudabeh enables them both to triumph over inconceivable odds, and then give birth to a beloved son, Rostam — the most important mythological hero of Shahnameh.

This family-friendly show is sure to entertain and thrill both children and adults alike.

Feathers of Fire has elements from the Jungle Book, from Rapunzel and Romeo and Juliet, but precedes all these stories.

Zaul’s story is over 1,000 years old — that’s what makes this story so universal
