Unspoken Dreams: Stories from Rumi Storyteller Ariel Balevi with Guitarist William Beauvais Unspoken dreams is the place where stories, music and art live when they aren’t being seen or heard. The 13th century mystical poet Rumi lived most of his life in Konya (now in Turkey) which was at the crossroads of different cultures. As a major city on the Silk Route, it was a place where travelers would meet, sharing their stories and beliefs. His work, the Masnavi, is a vast tapestry of stories and stories within stories, which he used in his teachings.
Ariel Balevi is a storyteller who tells stories from the literary and folk traditions of Iran and Turkey. He has performed at a number of venues and in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Washington D.C. William Beauvais is a Toronto based guitarist and composer with numerous CD’s to his credit. He has composed music for many prominent Canadian musicians and his music has been heard around the world.
