7 Princesses ( هفت پیکر )

This is a magical series of theatrical dances choreographed by Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam, inspired by the Seven Beauties (Haft Peykar), the renowned romantic epic by Nizami Ganjavi written in Persian in 1197. The poem is not only a masterpiece of erotic literature, but a profound virtuous chef d’oeuvre.

7 Princesses has become a literary classic in both the East and West – an erotic allegory about the quest for human perfection steeped in numerology, geometry, astrology, and color symbolism. Not only does each of the seven princesses come from a different country, or “clime”, but also each is associated with a different color, planet and virtue. “Seven” has long been a sacred number, especially in the ancient Middle East. It resonates on many levels: seven colors of the rainbow, seven chakras, and seven planets – known in medieval times as the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn.
