This fascinating show brings to the stage one of the most romantic love stories in Persian literature, surpassing in intensity the works of the great Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. The tour, which saw the collaboration of Italian universities and the International Association of Mediterranean and Eastern Studies (ISMEO), was a great success thanks also to the preparatory workshop curated by Prof. Daniela Meneghini.

The workshop, led by Prof. Meneghini, professor of Persian language and literature at the University of Venice and translator of the work, will offer spectators a unique vision of love according to Persian culture and the poetic thought of the Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. Actor Giovanni Calcagno will be joined by musicians Piero Grassini and Tito Rinesi, creating a theatrical experience that combines acting and live music.
