NOOR

NOOR

NOOR tells the story of World War II heroine Noor Inayat Khan
whose father, Hazrat Inayat Khan, brought Universal Sufism to the West.
Although Noor grew up in a family that practiced pacifism, she became the first female wireless operator for Britain's SOE to infiltrate Nazi-occupied France and was ultimately the last communication link between London and Paris. Code named Madeleine, Noor wanted to save innocent victims from the atrocities of Nazi Fascism, passionately believing in freedom for all people. Her heroic life would end after being transferred to Dachau. Defiant to the end,
Noor's last cry was “LIBERTÉ!”

This 40 minute dance-theater tour de force stars Felicia Norton
whose performance as NOOR received
standing ovations in London, Paris, Edinburgh and New York.

Music: David Majzlin
