Description

The Conference of the Birds is an initiatory Sufi tale, written by the poet Attar (1142-1220). It recounts the story of the birds’ search for a mythical bird, the Simorgh, in order to make it their king. From the desert to the seven valleys, they undergo a series of encounters which will take them to their most profound inner depths, following a difficult and demanding journey. “The light of my majesty is a mirror. He who sees himself reflected in this mirror, there sees his soul and his body.” With this allegory taken from the meeting between the soul and its real king, Jean-Claude Carrière created a theatrical work, directed by Peter Brook in Avignon in 1979. A true masterpiece which became world spiritual heritage.
