The Caged Bird Sings at the Aga Khan Museum

The Caged Bird Sings opened last night at the Aga Khan Museum.  It’s a co-pro between the museum and Modern Times Stage Company (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo) with Theatre ARTaud.  The play is written by Rouvan Silogix, Rafeh Mahmud and Ahad Lakhani. It’s based on the poetry of Rumi and deals with Sufi ideas of freedom, love and self-abnegation.  It’s sophisticated, often very funny and thought provoking.
