माँ की रसोई - Maa Ki rasoi - My mother’s kitchen
May 31 - June 4 2024
KXT on Broadway, as part of Purple Tape Production’s TAPE OVER FESTIVAL
Originally produced as part of Shopfront Arts Co-Op’S ArtsLab Program and received continual support through their Open Shop Program.
Woven through the recipes passed down in writer/director Pratha Nagpal's family, Maa Ki Rasoi is a theatrical pondering on one question: How does Pratha carry on her mother's legacy?
Unpacking the systemic placement of domesticity in South Asian cultures and the fear of defining your cultural legacy as an immigrant child - माँ की रसोई is a love letter to a mother, from a child who cannot cook.
Written and Directed by: Pratha Nagpal
