About
Anchored by a wandering pocket watch, "Undrunk Chai" is a surreal drama with dark humor that ruptures across three centuries. Two gender-expansive performers inhabit a kaleidoscope of characters caught between queer desire, ancestral wounds, and the fight to keep joy alive in the shadow of empire. In present-day New York, an estranged pair of friends test their capacity for repair over pie. In colonial India, a Muslim sepoy and a British lieutenant risk secret love on the brink of uprising. In Victorian London, a mother and daughter plot survival through yet another migration. Each era is warmed by a cup of chai asking to be drunk. Content Awareness: Flashing or shifting lights. Themes of colonial violence, and intergenerational trauma. Mentions of sexual acts. Depiction of parental violence.
