Sufi Journeys

On April 23rd and 27th, Fort Lewis College performed , Conference of the Birds, a play adapted by Jean Claude Carrier alongside Peter Brook from ancient Sufi Poetry. I had the honor to perform as the Hoopoe in this journey of a play. A difficult and beautifully metaphoric journey into the self, as the self reveals itself to be all selves. A Review was written in the local paper for the production, click the link below to read;
Durango Herald, Conference of the Birds Review


"To escape the journey, the birds found countless excuses, and to convince them to go, the Hoopoe told countless stories, but often nothing could outweigh their fears."
