Le Pèlerin du silence

A richly imagined Persian realm unfolds, where bustling bazaars, bright silks, and soaring eagles share space with hidden mystics and enigmatic magicians. At its heart is Zaël, a young seeker who has abandoned the frivolous games of his youth for the austere teachings of his master, Yezid-Hagy. The master’s sole lesson—“Look within and be silent”—sets Zaël on a path that balances curiosity with restraint, hinting at a deeper power that words cannot capture.

Answered by his mentor’s counsel, Zaël vows a pilgrimage of silence, mounting a horse and gathering servants to carry him toward Isfahan, the legendary center of worldly folly and greed. The journey promises encounters with vivid landscapes—glimmering dunes, twin rivers, and the jeweled towers of distant cities—while testing his resolve to remain mute amid clamor. Listeners are invited to follow his quiet quest, feeling the tension between external splendor and the inner stillness he strives to master.
