I am Farnoosh. 
I live in a house 
at the foot of a mountain, 
where the air is full of stories 
and the walls vibrate with my mother’s music. 

I am Farnoosh. 
Small in stature, fiery within. 
Sitting still is not for me. My hands, my feet, my thoughts – they are always moving. People watch, whisper, and shake their heads. 
But that's how I am: always wild, never quiet and occasionally strong-willed. 

I am Farnoosh. 
My room overlooks two worlds: 
the colossal mountain keeping watch outside my window 
and the steel birds that have been flying by for a while now.  
Often, I peer outside 
and I see dark clouds colliding with my harmonious haven.  

Whenever the clouds gather menacingly, 
my family and I hide from the storm, 
waiting for a softer breeze, 
before returning to our big city.  

Echoes of the Mountains is a visual symphony merging live music and on-stage drawing. A timeless story about a girl who, during a turbulent period in Iran, struggles with questions of identity and belonging. Music, the universal echo of humanity, accompanies an ever-louder call for peace.
