Experience the transformative true story of Rumi and his spiritual mentor, Shams Tabrizi, in SHAMS — a groundbreaking immersive production by Verdigris Ensemble in collaboration with the Crow Museum of Asian Art.
Featuring music by Iranian-American composer Sahba Aminikia, dance by Bruce Wood Dance Dallas, and visual art by Sara Baumann, SHAMS brings Rumi’s poetry to life in its original Farsi, translated by Zara Houshmand — forming the largest collection of its kind ever set to music.
Through haunting choral textures, expressive movement, and vivid visual storytelling, SHAMS traces a 40-day relationship that changed the course of spiritual history, inviting audiences into a powerful journey of love, transformation, and cultural connection.
