The choreographical piece Simorgh is Iranian-born Meghdad Asadi Lari‘s own elucidation of a customary Sufi ballad. The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar is an extensive and praised ballad written in Persian exploring the delicacy of self-esteem. Every bird speaks to a human blame, for example, self-image, covetousness, excellence and power. The birds must cross seven valleys to achieve the residence of the unbelievable Simorgh bird, whom they trust will be their leader.
Meghdad’s animated adaptation incorporates the peacock, which symbolizes the fallen soul in partnership with Satan, the songbird symbolizing the lover, and the parrot looking for the wellspring of eternity, not God. As the enlivened story depends on writing, Meghdad devoted all the visuals – the fowls and their surroundings – to Iranian culture, art and history. It’s been broadly perceived at a universal level, winning a few global film and movement honors at 60 film celebrations, including the Iranian Film Festival in San Francisco, Plum Tuckered Film Festival, and the International Gold Panda Awards for Students.
