The Play: Mustaqueen

About:

A pure-bred Siamese, MustaQueen is sexy and she knows it. And so does the Pakistani family who care for her when she miscarries, and whose own fractures she comments on with piercing wit and empathy. A one-act play that upends mythologies of motherhood, MustaQueen is raw, mischievous commentary on the neuroses of (feral) motherhood. As the global siege on reproductive rights and bodily autonomy rages on, MustaQueen offers acute provocations for the hooman world and reinvents the monstrous femme.

Script: Fatima Atta Maan

Performed By: Uma Paranjpe
