M(other)land Myths

Are you against war? Have you ever lied? Are you really open to a discussion about tradition and the myths that create our society? Motherland Myths is an anarchic comedy that overflows with tragedy about the world we live in. A journey that delves into the intersection between private and public histories. Two granddaughters debate in the style of a Greek agon over questions that define them. It is an excavation into the stories that make them who they are. It is an invitation to the audience to join them as they swing between choices and dive into memories.

ARTISTS

 

Rukmini Sircar (she/her) is an Actor and Performance Maker. She is a graduate of National School of Drama, India and the recipient of Charles Wallace India Trust Scholarship. She is interested in the inexplicable and the indefinable, in boundaries and what happens when you cross them. She is on a quest for a tongue that babbles and a space where she can be inside-out.

Jamil Nicolle (she/us) is a performance artist and philosopher born in Lima, Peru.  She is interested to perform ideas and deep thoughts in every possible scenic space. Is a big Plato fan.  She thinks that performing ideas of the fathers of Western culture can be a way of un-doing/ un-veil /de-construct whatever they were trying to say. She loves the "maybes".  Currently, resides in London and is studying a MA in Performance Making at Goldsmiths, maybe she is developing a hybrid between theatre and philosophy, maybe a thoughtful praxis, maybe nothing at all (although “the nothing” is impossible).
