Circle of Light is an immersive 360° dome experience that ushers you into the mystical world of the Persian Sufi poet Rumi, featuring the voice of the most renowned living Iranian vocalist, Shahram Nazeri, performed in Rumi’s original language. This experience is a ground-breaking visual journey through living Persian architecture and ancient realms of mystical symbolism, presenting a breathtaking opera of the profound magic of Persian love poetry.  

With an original surround sound score by musical virtuoso Loga Ramin Torkian, Rumi’s poetry – sung in its original language – expresses a profound spiritual power. Featuring musical performances by Azam Ali, Hamed Nikpay, Pejman Hadadi, Sinan Cem Eroglu, Mammad Mohsen Zadeh, Leah Metzler, and Kiara Ana Perico. English subtitles appear throughout the experience, translating each poem at key moments.  

Produced and directed by Spherical Pictures founder Amir Aziz over four years, this experience is a labor of love; it is an invitation to enter the ancient realm of mystical Persia and the profound mysteries of Rumi’s lyrical wisdom.
