Hidden Yearning is a multi-media dramatization of Leili Tajadod Pritschet’s personal experience as a dancer in pre-revolutionary Iran, her arrest and abuse by the revolutionary government, and her subsequent escape to the United States. Leili’s story is told through Persian classical dance, video footage, live music, the Islamic call to prayer and the poetry of Rumi.
Hidden Yearning is an uplifting story of resilience and forgiveness, a celebration of the healing power of art. Leili Tajadod Pritschet’s physical and emotional recovery from disabling damage inflicted by the Iranian police reminds us that forgiving others allows us to live our lives fully, regardless of what others have done to us.
