Join us on a journey to find HOME.

CROWN/تاج is the UK’s first touring production by Company Scheherazade combining classical Persian dance, contemporary dance, and Sufi movement to tell a story of displacement, identity, and body sovereignty to an original soundtrack of live classical music and electronica.

Using Persian miniatures, lived experience and the poetry of Forough Farrokhzad, the 3 lead dancers take the audience on a journey from determination through struggle to release. Finding courage, resilience, and joy along the way.

Maria Tarokh directs this female-led production on its inaugural tour. The cast feature brilliant contemporary and classical dancers and virtuoso classical Persian musicians to bring you a moving, exhilarating, and energetic experience.

CROWN is a celebration of the transformation which takes place when we realise home is within ourselves.

CROWN has toured extensively in the UK since October 2023. It received Arts Council England funding and has been supported by numerous funders, arts organisations, and commissioners including Responsa Foundation and Abderrahim Charitable Settlement.
