Part living room, part Iranian garden paradise, Bobak and friends invite children and families to embark on an enchanting new adventure. Enter into the vibrant world of Iranian culture and enjoy Middle Eastern hospitality at its finest! Rolling out the red carpet, audiences will be welcomed into the space with playful activities and fresh pomegranates and kishmishi will be served. Cups filled with golden saffron tea; its heady scent fills the air. And then with our thirsts quenched and the taste of Iran quite literally lingering in our mouths, we’re ready to take in the show. The stage will be transformed into a playground of cultural discovery. Where a unique blend of Hip-hop, beatboxing, dance, theatre, clowning and live Anglo Iranian music will transport audiences. From the jungles of the Alborz mountain range to the gentle waves of the Caspian Sea, and all the way to the far south and the bustling ports of the Persian Gulf – home of Bandari. Engaging and playing in this colourful Middle Eastern paradise, audiences will transcend borders and explore the wonders of Iranian culture through a fusion of dance, music, and storytelling and a dazzling display of creativity and joy.
