Dear friends and those interested in present day and ancient civilisations,

These will be accompanied by 19 cinematic productions and interpretations by filmmakers Pujan Shakupa and Stefan Stark, as well as 19 new compositions and songs by Tar master Elshan Ghasimi.
These are the elements of Die Blume und der Tod [The Flower and Death], the third part of the Elies Miniatures cycle, which follows the tracks of mathematician, magician and mystic El Arbi Bouqdib, who died in 2016 in Bremen. It is dedicated to the tale of this travellers life between East and West, between faith, science and poetry.
