What I liked
The script. The acting. The live music (the conversation between Mayuri and the incredible musician on stage – WOW!). The visuals. The dancing. The energy. I walked away even more curious about how we can dismantle the systems that be!
What I didn't like
A longer run. That’s all. We just need more of the Anti-Yogi. Thank you for sharing this story Mayuri!
My overall impression
One of the most powerful shows in the Fringe Festival this year. WOW. I was so excited to see this show knowing that it would be centered in decolonizing this very sacred and ancient practice eager to learn more. I was completely blown away by Mayuri’s writing. What a well crafted script! Brilliant, intelligent, vulnerable, and dynamic storytelling by way of her text…AND her phenomenal acting. She stole all my attention and my heart every second of the way. She confronted the appropriation and colonization of the practice and culture assertively allowing the audience to really question how we have been viewing/receiving/taking yoga as a Western society. Everything about this show is a 10/10 for me. I truly hope this show continues on past the Hollywood Fringe Festival. THIS is the kind of art we need in our society.
