For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to Dr Nandini Manjunath and Himadri Madan to hear all about Theiyā Arts and their new interdisciplinary mixed-media performance/exhibition Maiden | Mother | Whore.
Nandini and Himadri explain the themes and ideas behind the project, the number of organisations who they have collaborated with, how the show has developed, and the academcic as well as the performative sides of Maiden | Mother | Whore. They also explain the vital role audiences will play in the performance, and why this will mean a different show every time.
The conversation then turns to talk more widely about the work of Theiyā Arts, particularly what they do in and with the community, and how you can learn more and get involved (see links below).
It was such an interesting and informative chat about a show which will have a reach way beyond the actual performances, and we hope it will convince you to experience it all.
Here are some images from Maiden | Mother | Whore:
