YONI KI BAAT – Back for more in 2010!
“’Yoni Ki Baat’ hits the (G) spot.” –Centerstage Chicago
Produced in association with Premiere Theatre & Performance
at Strawdog Theatre – 3829 N. Broadway, Chicago
DATES: January 7 – 31, 2010
Rasaka presents an updated version of their 2009 hit Yoni Ki Baat, including new work from Chicago authors performed for the first time in 2010. A funny, heartfelt, and thought-provoking monologue cycle, the production is loosely inspired by Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues. By combining spoken word, music and dance, Rasaka presents an exploration of female sexuality, seen through the lens of desi women. Like a chain letter passed through the theatrical community, Yoni Ki Baat features contributions from writers across the country, combining to create one compelling evening of theatre.
