Cabaret Room: Stephan Said – Borderless, 7:30pm

November 11 2023, 7:30 pm-9:00 pm

$25

Stephan Said is an internationally acclaimed musician, writer and activist, and the host/cofounder of borderless, a global movement, docuseries and platform promoting a pop-culture revolution for a better world. On Nov. 11 at Pangea, he will premiere a multi-media symphonic performance, immersing the audience with him on his journey uniting people across divides, singing songs of freedom and equality in multiple languages at the frontlines of climate change, war, refugee camps, natural disasters, inequality and more. In an age of virtual reality and disconnectedness, the show will offer hyper-reality, and a connection to a generation across the planet that is not waiting for the world it desperately wants to see. Said will sing in several languages including Arabic, Hebrew, German, Spanish, Yiddish, Hungarian and more., in styles that range from pop to world folk, jazz, classical and even bluegrass.

Said has been called “this generation’s Woody Guthrie” (Billboard Magazine) and favorably compared to Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Bob Marley in publications such as the New York Times, Billboard Magazine, BBC, NPR and RFI. Said is an Iraqi-Austrian American with heritage that simultaneously combines Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. He gained attention in the 1990’s as the rising star of folk and Americana music, winning fans including the late poet Allen Ginsberg and folk legend Pete Seeger, the latter asking the young singer to rewrite the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome” in a feature published by the New York Times.

After his songs helped build the Arab Spring and Occupy movements, he received funding to develop a docuseries that followed him to the frontlines of the world’s biggest crises, meeting everyday people doing amazing things to make a better world. “The idea was kind of like the Bourdain show, but instead of being about food, it was about people who are creating a more equal, just world.” In his travels, he found an entire generation of voices waiting to be heard, from musicians and filmmakers to scientists and policy makers, all of whom are frustrated by popular culture, looking for a way to create the change they wish to see. Working with his wife Anushay Said, an international development professional and educator, they have built borderless into a movement spreading across the world with hubs in multiple countries lifting and connecting the voices of people in communities across the planet.
