The Little Black Fish is an original interdisciplinary performance that brings a beloved Persian story to life through textile art, bilingual storytelling, music, movement, and light. Inspired by Samad Behrangi’s celebrated tale of a small fish who leaves the safety of a narrow stream in search of the wider world, the performance explores themes of curiosity, courage, transformation, and independent thought.At the heart of the production is a 20-foot-long handcrafted textile tapestry river, created using embroidery, fabric collage, and layered transparent materials inspired by Persian textile traditions and the original illustrations of Farshid Mesghali. As performers animate the textile through movement, light, and sound, the stitched imagery transforms into a living storytelling landscape.
Presented in Persian and English, the performance combines narration, music, visual storytelling, movement, and light projection to create an immersive experience accessible across cultures and generations. Blending contemporary performance with Persian artistic traditions, The Little Black Fish reimagines tapestry as a dynamic storytelling medium and introduces audiences to one of the most influential works of modern Persian literature.
