* Last chance: "Seven Valleys" in Berkeley
In search for truth a man begins a musical journey through seven stages
of being: Search, Love, Knowledge, Oneness, Contentment, Wonderment, and
Absolute Nothingness. During this journey he makes connections with his
consciousness and his spirituality, and with their help he reaches the
final stage of truth: Absolute Nothingness...or the death of the shell
(the body).
- Hasti (the body): Mansour Taeed
- Hoori (spirituality): Shahrzad Khorsandi [dance]
- Barbood(consciousness): Kourosh Taghavi [Setar]
