Abstract: The Shiraz-Persepolis Festival of Arts was an international festival held in Iran every summer from 1967-1977. Jashn-e Honar-e Shiraz, as it was popularly known in Persian was an inspired and feverish exploration, experimentation and creative conversation between Iran and the outside world that unfolded primarily through music, drama, dance and film. Presented in Shiraz, or forty miles northeast at the Achaemenid ruins of Persepolis and Naqsh-e Rostam, the programs started at 10 a.m. every day and concluded at 1 or 2 a.m. the next, staggered across ancient, medieval and modern venues, some natu- ral, some formal, others makeshift. True to its mission, the festival’s ecosystem cut across time and other boundaries, refreshing the tradi- tional, celebrating the classical, nurturing the experimental, and stim- ulating a dialogue across generations, cultures, and languages, East and West, North and South.
