Enjoy a performance piece at the BU Theater, created by Wendy Jehlen, Brown Class of 1994.  The show explores the figure of Iblis (Satan) in some Sufi traditions. HWB combines Capoeira, Butoh, Contact Improv, African dance and ASL poetry. HWB takes our notion of good and evil, the divine and the satanic, and turns it on its head. HWB takes us from the time before time, through the suffering of Iblis in his separation from his Beloved, his quest for the same, through to his ecstatic annihilation. Text by Hallaj, Faiz, Iqbal, Hafiz and Rumi.

While an undergraduate at Brown University, Jehlen was introduced to Butoh, Capoeira, West African dance and, a wide-range of Modern and Contemporary dance styles, which she has continued to study in New York City, Boston, Washington, DC, Venice, Tokyo and Madras. Jehlen's emotionally powerful choreography has been performed throughout the United States, Europe, India and in Japan. Her work is informed by her study of storytelling and literature from around the world. She holds a Bachelors with Honors in Storytelling, Ritual and Performance from Brown University and a Masters of Theological Studies in Religion and Performance from Harvard University.

This show is discounted for Brown Club of Boston members and guests, courtesy of Wendy.
