Overview

1 / 11

Fifteen hundred years ago, there was a story about the Heroes of the Silk Road. Silla: Basilla was inspired by Kush-Nama, a Persian epic poem. It was then recompositioned centering around the characters in Kush-Nama, Prince Abtin and his son Fereydun, as well as the princess of Silla, Farārang. It takes place after the Sasanian Empire, the last pre-Islamic Persian empire, had ended.

The story depicts the collision and harmonization of the three different cultures of Persia, Silla, and Arab. Dynamic storytelling is created through the characters and scenes. The spectacular stage sets, lighting, and video give the production incredible visual appeal. Also, specially designed props crossing the Silk Road and battle scenes of Zahhak and Fereydun allow the audience to feel as if they are part of a page in history.

Introduction

Synopsis

After a long journey at sea, Abtin arrived in Silla, where he fell in love with and married Princess Farārang. While he was in Silla, the empire came under control of the dragon-fiend King Zahhak. Abitin headed back to the country to conquer it. The people of Persia ardently welcomed the prince, but he died during the battle with Zahhak.

In the meantime, Princess Farārang gave birth to a son and named him Fereydun, and these two headed to Persia for revenge. After vanquishing Zahhak, Fereydun went back to save Silla from the attack of the tyrant Kush the Tusked in China. Fereydun sends an army to China to defeat Kush.
