The City of Tales (Adapted) is a powerful dance theatre adaptation of Bijan Mofid's iconic Persian play “Shahr-e Ghesseh”.

Produced by Blackout Art Society, this powerful piece blends satire, symbolism, and rhythmic storytelling to explore identity, self-alienation, and the cost of pursuing societal status. Rich in social commentary, the work offers a poignant reflection on the modern human experience.
