Kooch: Stories of Mixed Identities
Date: April 15, 2013
Kooch highlights the challenge faced by every immigrant: maintaining traditional culture while living in the culture of their host country. This presentation uses music, poetry, and dance to show the community how Iranian immigrants work to keep their Persian heritage and traditions alive. It also addresses issues of human rights and the generation gap.
Ziba Shirazi, a female Persian singer, will perform and share her music as storytelling. An Iranian master musician, Mr. Faez will play his beautiful santou (a classical Persian instrument), and there will be readings of great poets, such as Rumi and Hafez.
