  • Show Information

Join us on a journey to find HOME.

CROWN/تاج is the UK’s first touring production combining classical Persian dance, contemporary dance, and Sufi whirling to tell a story of migration, identity, and body sovereignty to an original soundtrack of live classical music and electronica.

Maria Tarokh directs this female-led production. The cast feature brilliant contemporary and classical dancers and virtuoso classical Persian musicians to bring you a moving, exhilarating, and energetic experience.

CROWN/تاج is a manifestation of female strength. Using Persian miniatures, lived experience and the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, the 3 lead dancers take the audience on a journey from determination through struggle to release. Finding courage, resilience, and joy along the way.

CROWN is a celebration of the transformation which takes place when we realise home is within ourselves.

Supported with funding from Arts Council England.
