Vahideh Eisaei, is an Iranian-Australian storyteller, a Qanun player and a composer. Evolving into a storyteller, she blends poetry, spoken words, and music to reconstruct classical poetry with contemporary nuances. Vahideh’s work delves into the narratives, elements and motifs embedded in Persian music and poetry, crafting compositions and text that resonate with her experiences as a migrant woman in a new land. Most recently, she wrote, composed and performed in Love’s Universe is Inside You, directed by Michael Kantor, at the Melbourne Recital Centre and Aranya Festival In China.
