The Fox & Beggar Theater invites you to step into the pages of an ancient story book. Here, you will find fairies and djinn. You will find rituals of grieving, and of enduring. You will find mad poets of ancient Shaikhs; circus tricks and magic doors; the ghost dances of dead brides and the desert songs of bird maidens. Above all, you will find a story about love.
For this is a story about love. And it begins with a king.
Adapted from The 1,001 Arabian Nights, "Angamazad" fuses musical theater, spoken word, acrobatics, contemporary dance, and lavish artwork in a visually and sonically stunning journey.
The core inquiry of the piece: how can storytelling help heal the heart of the king... in us all? With stories unfolding from stories, the piece of contemplation and a vote for the possibility that we each will embody the courage to fully live our own most beauteous tale, on that empowers and frees others, as it liberates our own nature.
