Shahram Shiva, performance poet, author and award-winning Rumi translator known for his unique and passionate recitations of Rumi's poetry, will perform his own English renditions as well as some of Rumi's original Persian verses with live musical accompaniment. Here at Rumi Network we receive many e-mails from you asking Shahram Shiva to perform in your cities, whether in the US, Canada, Europe, India or Australia. Mr. Shiva shares his passion for Rumi by invitation only--we don't actually plan events at Rumi Network. If you'd like to invite Mr. Shiva to your city, please write us at info@rumi.net and we'd be happy to discuss it with you. * * * * * * "Shahram
Shiva will restore the exultation of spirit in your Being. “An evening of hearing Rumi’s poetry read by Shahram Shiva was pure bliss. Since Shahram is Persian himself, he embodies the heart of Rumi’s culture as well as the passion of our universal spiritual yearnings. Rich Goodheart’s musical mastery of many Eastern instruments is a perfect partner to the poetry. And the whirling just has to be experienced first-hand. So simple and effective, you will touch the essence of Sufi ecstasy in a few easy steps."
“If you want to know what Sufi mysticism is all about, Shahram Shiva’s evening of poetry, music, and whirling take you there. After Shiva read Rumi to haunting music, we whirled like stars in the heavens, literally! Try it! Whirling is an amazing, almost out-of-body experience. I can’t wait to do it again.” --Carolyn Whittle
“Mysticism in our midst is the only way to describe this event. You will be amazed, moved, and thrilled. Don’t miss it.” --Susan Lunden "I attended the event you held at NYOC last night. I was speechless then and all I can say now is that it was utterly spectacular. I have been around the world and experienced numerous cultural events. This one right here in NY, was the most original, witty, funny and spiritual of all. Thank you for keeping our heritage and literature alive. I told all my friends about you and we will definitely see you in your upcoming performances." --Farnaz "I had the pleasure of being at your Woodstock event and I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation. I felt joy, peace, and I didn't realize until later but I also felt energized. Thank you for reaffirming those things that I think I know. The music was fabulous and the whole program, well lets just say, it made me smile. Thank you," --Susan |
