    Conference of the Birds based on the 12th century poem of the same name by Farid ud-Din Attar, offers a profound journey of the human ego and the quest for truth. Through a captivating narrative, it challenges us to reflect on our place in the world. As the birds of the world take flight on a pilgrimage to find their celebrated king, they explore existential questions and their own identities. This evocative reading highlights our shared humanity while celebrating our individual qualities, showing how our distinct backgrounds enrich our collective experience. (Tickets will be free and facilitated through Eventbrite. Please check website for more information.)
