It does not sit comfortably with Iranian-born Siavash Arianfar to be interviewed. But the truth is that, without Arianfar, it is unlikely that Caravan would have ever materialized.
Caravan -- a mystical journey along the Silk Road via Persian traditional music and Sufi poetry -- will take place Dec. 3 at Super Deluxe in Roppongi.
On that date, six male musicians and five female dancers will perform on two stages, accompanying readings of poetry in Persian and English translation by the 13th-century mystic Jalalud'din Rumi.
