Global Spring: Sara Majidinejad
PILTĀN is Sara Majidinejad’s Bachelor Concert.
One of humanity’s most enduring concerns, from the beginning of time until now, has been the narration of aspects of life that, over time, have moved from acts of creation and the expansion of mythological perspectives to historical-social-political accounts. Artistic forms and methods have always played a prominent role in this civilizational-cultural movement, and by employing various techniques and narrative approaches across different artistic media, they have not only produced aesthetic creations but have also greatly enriched the process of civilization-building.
Artists’ inclination toward mythological references, reinterpretations, and drawing inspiration from such stories in their works has varied according to the social, political, and cultural conditions of each era, and consistently, new works have emerged!
This project seeks, through a musical narrative, to offer a free interpretation of “The Seven Trials of Rostam,” one of the epic-mythological stories of the Shahnameh. To achieve this aim, ideas from the modalities of Iranian music have been combined with contemporary compositional approaches and electronic sounds, creating a new auditory experience in the realm of mythological-artistic storytelling from the Shahnameh—without adhering strictly to a mere retelling of the original story.
