The Black Fish Project

The Black Fish Project

Presented by Aga Khan Museum at Aga Khan Museum

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Persian children’s story, The Little Black Fish, tells the story of a little black fish who wants to know what lies on the other side of his pond. While being cautioned and ridiculed for his curiosity, he embarks on a life-changing journey, learning just as much about himself as he does about the world that surrounds him.

The Black Fish loosely follows the trajectory of its own protagonist, the composer, who draws on his broad and often conflicting experiences as an immigrant who left his native land. The music fuses western classical music with jazz and Arabic maqam music, combined with fleeting Persian modal music. All these elements come together to tell the story of the Black Fish through Emami’s unique musical language.
