One of the best shows I have seen at Fringe. Mayuri uses powerful storytelling in the forms of monologues, impeccable dances, and music to make the audience question the commercialization and appropriation of yoga in the West. As a South Asian audience member, many parts moved me to tears as I felt so seen in the unique perspective of being a consumer of a form of spirituality and movement that was taken from our people/that we were mocked for and is now being sold back to us.

This piece was executed so well, from the writing to the performances. Even within the limitations of a fringe space, the two worlds of the play were so distinct and yet blended seamlessly into each other when it came time to meld.

Without giving any spoilers, the show was so aesthetically planned that it was clear what the vision was from start to finish, both in the language and in the stage picture. The story took us back through time into memories that were layered with grief and laughter, sadness and joy. It was a beautiful ode to life and death a... full review
