MUTHALAND by Minita Gandhi

10/4/2017

0 Comments

 
MUTHALAND by Minita Gandhi is extended in its World Premiere at 16th Street Theater!
While foraging through her parents’ basement, Minita discovers her father’s worn suitcase from his very first journey to the United States, with a single statement scribbled in black Sharpie: “When I die, discard this bag if you like, until then it stays.”
This sparked a curiosity leading to vulnerable interviews where her parents shared stories they had never spoken of before. By weaving their stories with her own life-changing journey to India in 2009 for her brother’s arranged marriage, Muthaland shares the magic of Minita’s journey to India, full of prophets, ritual, the convergence of American and Indian cultures and finding one’s own voice within a culture of silence.

Highly Recommended! “Minita Gandhi grabs our attention and keeps it for the full 90 minutes of this rich, resonant, sometimes hilarious, at times deeply moving autobiographical piece.” – Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader

“Muthaland at 16th Street Theater is a one woman show written and performed by the talented Minita Gandhi. It’s a showcase for her dexterity and ability to create and inhabit characters we love, and characters who make our skin crawl, as she goes on a journey to her parents homeland.” – Regina Victor, Rescripted

Highly Recommended! “. …It takes a lot of guts to stand in front of an audience and perform. It takes even more moxie to take intimate and traumatic parts of your life, find healing through pain and share your story truthfully. Yet, Minita Gandhi does just that with humor, heart and a gorgeous sari. Gandhi’s storytelling style turns a bare black stage into a sensorial experience akin to reading a well-written novel. Much of the show is utterly hilarious. However, the story takes an unexpected serious turn when Gandhi confronts her experiences of sexual assault and sexual shame.” Mary Kroeck, New City
