“Layla and Majnun” is an original dance and live music production based on an ancient Arabian love story well known in the Islamic world. A highly anticipated collaboration between the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Silk Road Ensemble, the work will explore the story’s themes of love, madness, and mysticism through Mark Morris’ uniquely musical choreography and will feature popular Azerbaijani singers Alim and Fargana Qasimov performing on stage with musicians of the Silk Road Ensemble and Mark Morris Dance Group dancers. The new work will premiere in September 2016 at Cal Performances.
