First Three-year Journey
This multinational assembly of actors, dancers, musicians and other performers travelled widely in the Middle East and Africa in the early 1970s. This was as a three-year 'pilgrimage' to answer the question "What were the common stories, the recognizable shorthands, the instant abstractions, the shared outlines of story and character with which an international group could work?" On this three-year sojourn, they produced two major works Orghast produced in 1971 at the Shiraz Festival in Iran and The Conference of Birds developed in West Africa and completed in 1974 at BAM in Brooklyn, New York.
