Line up: Milli (Mehmooni LDN) all night long
If one would search all existing libraries, one would probably find more than 1000 versions of Layli and Majnun." Join us for the 1001th rendition of a story of undying love, as told on the auspicious weekend of Valentine's. An arabic tale that found colour and vividity in the Persian poems of old, in fairytales from khaleej villages of Arabestan to the star crossed romanticists of Rajasthan, a tale that Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" found inspiration in. Expect the Baz Luhrmann score of Romeo & Juliet to get heavy rotation in between our Persian, Turkish, Arabic and Indian influenced dance as ML's Milli returns to Berlin's closest iteration of a mystical sufi dancefloor filled with hip shaking, loud clapping and ululations to reverberate through souls and time. Persian Love in Berlin.
