Poésie

What were the life, the works and the message of Djalâl ad-Dîn Rûmî (1207-1273)?
Rûmî's works includes more than one hundred and twenty thousand verses yet the poet used to say that "the words are prisons (...) they can't tell my experience". Artist affectation?  Certainly not, Rûmî's poetry is at an ontological level and tries to make indescribable perceptible:  Theophanic experience.
With her words and with her talent Leili Anvar will unveil this hymn to religion of love that was Rûmî's poetry, relate how he entered in poetry and how he entered in love, and describe "essences' fusion" that was his mystic ecstasy.
