A Lot to Ask
A New Poem of Politics, Love
and Resistance
July 22-24 , 2016
Housatonic, MA
Prema’s third full-length solo work takes place in an undisclosed outdoor location, and delves into the personal as political on a global scale, featuring music, an overhead projector, storytelling and dance. "A Lot to Ask" pushes the boundaries of theatre to find out what’s truly at risk - weaving narrative through terrain as vast as neo-colonialism, immigration law, widespread pollution of our rivers, and why love may be the most pragmatic gesture in reclaiming our shared humanity.
