Sufi
Circle
invites you to join us to
celebrate Rumi’s union with his Beloved on Sunday December 17,
2006
at 2:00 PM .
In
this program:
Voicepoint ensemble performs
"Rumi:
Path of Love ", “a sacred ceremony and a joyous celebration of
truth presented within a
DELICIOUS FEAST
of ecstatic song , poetry and dance!”
Rumi, the 13th century Persian mystic poet, the
best selling poet in America, has been called “axis of Love.”
Maulana Jalal-ul-Din RUMI (1207-1273) was born in Balkh,
Persia and died in Konya, Turkey. R.A.Nicholson called him
“the greatest mystical poet of any age.” His spiritual and
literary influence is so pervasive in the East that his name
is often prefaced by the reverential term “Maulana” (our
Master). He composed over 70,000 verses of poetry of divine
love and ecstatic illumination. He was a pillar of Islam and a
sober scholar until he met a wandering wild dervish – Shams of
Tabriz and was transformed into an enraptured lover of God;
traveling from knowledge to vision.
“Love has everyone by the ear
dragging us back by secret ways,
the one who secretly hears this is senseless.”
He reached a rare level of intimacy with the Beloved. His poetry
is an enthusiastic torrent of spontaneous outpouring. Ecstatic
love poetry rooted in the divine with its endless permutations
of longing, union, separation and intoxication. We can only hold
up our cupped hands in humble supplication and become drenched
with the dizzying fragrance of his gifts. The variety and sheer
number of his cannon has become essential reading for modern day
seekers and lovers.
Voicepoint is a theatrical force lifting audiences to new
dimensions. The timeless voices of mystics, sages, philosophers
and poets are illumined, and the message of Man’s Unlimited
Nature touches our deepest knowingness.
Ensemble
Voicepoint performers are drawn out of diverse cultures, ages,
backgrounds and traditions. They share a one-pointed
dedication to Self-discovery and higher dimensions of Being.
For the ensemble, Voicepoint is a spiritual school for
personal transformation, for moving beyond differences into
agreement, and for collaborative creativity with the Source.
Metaphysical principles and practices are applied to every
aspect of performance and production. Rehearsals invoke the
spirit of imagination, inspiration and intuition. The result
is a powerful, real transmission.
Style
Voicepoint amplifies esoteric messages through a dynamic
interplay of voice, percussion, movement and music. Poetry,
prose and stories are woven into a tapestry rich with meaning.
The frequency is energetic, vivid and direct. Inventive images
evoke a sense of mystical discovery and draw audiences into an
experience of wonder.
