Simorgh is a personal adaptation of The Conference of the Birds. A choreographic piece that incorporates Persian music, calligraphic art and ornament designs to tell the traditional Persian story of life that deals with the fragility of self worth.

It centers around a few birds of different breeds, each representative of a particular human characteristic; ego, greed.. . The birds are seemingly satisfied with their perceptions of self, but on a chance journey they each embark upon, they find they are stronger as a community and are strengthened by allowing others to complete their true ‘self’.
