about

Suite concertante is a program suite dramatizing Iran’s history in the past 150 years, through the analogy of four Persian rugs. Each rug has a distinct social/geographical origin, recalling particular lives and times. ‘Kilim’ is a flat tribal tapestry woven with geometrical designs derived from nature. ‘Sarouk’ is a delicate carpet, often made of silk, with curvilinear and floral designs of a more abstract nature. ‘Jajim’ is a flat woollen tapestry rug, made and used by nomadic peoples, with abstract minimalist designs. ‘Gabbeh’ is a pile rug, also made and used by nomadic peoples, with designs derived from life. ~ Farshid Samandari
