In the summer of 2015, I journeyed to Vienna, where the grand halls of the National Library became my stage. There, I wove the ancient Persian tale of Siavash and his trial by fire—a story as old as time, yet fresh with every telling. As I narrated, I saw eyes light up, hearts connect; it was then I truly understood that stories are bridges, drawing souls together across cultures and centuries. Whether brief whispers or epic sagas, they linger in the mind and spirit, leaving echoes long after the last word is spoken. Through storytelling, we celebrate our shared humanity, one tale at a time.
