Following successful tours of the US & Europe in 2003, the leading
Persian percussion ensemble, ZARBANG has once again teamed up with
acclaimed dancer/choreographer, Banafsheh Sayyad for an evening of
their new work. Persian Sufi dance & music are fused with Flamenco
and improvisational elements to present a new way to communicate
ancient sacred ideas. Outer Circles originate from personal trance
states that are given structure and order, hence finding a pattern
within chaos. Slow and meditative, yet ecstatic and exuberant, it
features dance and live music pieces that delve into the mysteries
of floating on the outer circles, far from the source, immersed in
materiality, yet seeking, longing and pushing the limits of temporal
being. |
"...With the Tombak, brilliantly played frame drums and the Iberian
Cajon, ZARBANG built a richly colored surface for the many-faced
dance of Banafsheh Sayyad who has the ability to combine different
traditional roots to create one _expression of dance. Her uniquely
fluid & supple hands & arm movements fit perfectly to the crystal
clear & transparent sounds of Javid Afsari Rad's Santur" Badishe
