Mark Morris Dance Group and Silkroad Ensemble: Layla and Majnun


  • The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Based on an ancient tale as poignant and beautiful as Romeo and JulietLayla and Majnun tells a passionate story of tragic love. When a young man's zealous feelings for his childhood love Layla earn him the nickname Majnun, or "possessed," his perceived madness turns their would-be union into scandal, misfortune, and eternal longing.
