Mahogany Opera's new commission from Rolf Hind and Dante Micheaux
Sky in a Small Cage, the latest commission from Rolf Hind, is conceived as a contemporary staged oratorio which tells the story of the extraordinary life of Sufi poet, Rumi – and focusing on his relationship with his master, muse and beloved Shams who was (it is suspected) murdered at the hands of Rumi’s brothers. The story will be told with words written specifically by award-winning poet, Dante Micheaux together with translations of Rumi’s own poetry. An exceptional multi-disciplinary cast and mixed ensemble will bring each dramatic tableau to life using song, musical interludes and dance.
