Sussan Deyhim: Ritual Futurism
The Iranian American composer, vocalist, performance artist, and activist in a conversation illustrated with a 1986
formative performance at Roulette with longtime partner, multi-instrumentalist Richard Horowitz. Deyhim's journey from
an early passion for Persian dance and music to a globally recognized concert performer and associations with artists
from Arto Lindsay and Shirin Neshat to Ornette Coleman and U2 is a remarkable story. The work--including recordings,
film scores, installations, opera, performance art, and collaborations--is faithful to her fertile, evolving cross-cultural
roots.
