Şivan Perwer - Voice of Hope

He was born in these lands. It became the voice of a people. It turned into a scream... He always stood by the oppressed. He moved mountains with his courage. He talked about brotherhood. He sang unity and justice with his melodies. "Voice of Hope" Şivan Perwer's drama, which started in the village of Sorî, took him to all corners of the world in voluntary exile. Şivan, who carries his roots and language wherever he goes, did not give up his struggle even for a moment. He chose to be the "shepherd" of a people, as he chose for himself. Knotting his binding with his heart and tying it to the land he belonged to, Şivan shared the pain, fate and difficulties of this land.
