Production Details
Let the Wind Sweep Through,
a Conference of Birds
The seven seas are drops of rain.
The moth seeks to know the flame.
What is the longing that stirs in you?
And what is the most you're willing to do?
Sufism tenets, elucidated in the famous Persian poem written by Attar of Nishapur in 1177 CE, merge with the metaphoric landscape of Underworlds described in Nahualismo, the ancient dreaming tradition of Mexico. Together, we embark on a journey to free heart, mind, and the mystery within us and before us.
With physical theatre, aerial dance, shadow puppetry, music, and poetry, we tell an old story for a new era.
Metzmecatl: Moon Rope Theatre
Metzmecatl: Moon Rope Theatre was established in 2012. It is a Bay Area physical theater company that explores artistic representation of dreaming and folklore, engaging the absurd and the vulnerable, in order to address personal, ancestral, and collective themes through performance. The commpany's mission is to bring pathos, humor, abstraction, beauty, tension, and the enchantment of make believe to the stage, in the hopes of helping to add a little more magic, and a little more healing, to our world.
