Dough will rise; a stew will simmer; the skin of a fruit will soak; Shiv will be Parvati; queers will rejoice. In my kitchen, you can cook with me. In my kitchen, you can move with me. In my kitchen you can listen, talk, and really, you can be you.
My kitchen is queer, gender non-conforming, and powerful. Come hang out with them (and me).
Immigrant Kitchen is a show about the femininity in my life, my queerness, my grandmothers, cooking, and Hindu mythology. You are invited to this 8-person performance during which you will help cook a meal from my childhood. After, we will sit together and break bread.
