Golden Thread Fairytale Players presents an interpretation of Nasrudin’s Magnificent Journey to Samarkand, written by Torange Yeghiazarian and directed by Sarah Al-Kassab. This visually colorful performance is adapted from folktales centered around the comedic personage, Nasrudin Hoja (also known as Mullah Nasrudin or Juha), a wise fool renowned in Central Asia, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab world. The performance follows Nasrudin and his faithful donkey as they travel through caravansaries in Konya and Damascus where Nasrudin’s clever wisdom and propensity for exposing hypocrisy frequently get him into trouble. Will Nasrudin and his faithful donkey ever make it to Samarkand, the center of arts and crafts on the ancient Silk Road? There is only one way to find out!”
The performance is for children aged 5 – 12, but people of all ages are guaranteed to also enjoy our performances! The 50-minute presentation includes a 30-minute performance and a 20-minute Q&A with the artists.
