Silken Veils

Tenderly performed memories

We join a Persian woman (Leila Ghaznavi) as she freaks out about her impending nuptials. Using puppetry, silhouette-work and animation to complement live action we are taken on a journey through her memories of Iran, suffused with the poetry of Rumi. A charming and tender portrait of the burden of love, in which the stringed performers shine.

Assembly George Square, 623 3030, until 28 Aug, 3.40pm, £9–£10 (£8–£9).
