MUKHAGNI

What happens to our bodies after we die? Ashes pollute rivers. Buried bodies take up real estate. Bringing video and performance into intimate conversation, MukhAgni is an automythography about a relationship in process. In a bedroom in Brooklyn, in a Calcutta charnel ground, two queer colored lovers play dead. Co-created with Shayok Misha Chowdhury, MukhAgni premiered at The Public Theater’s Under The Radar Festival in 2020.
