Tickets are on sale for my One-Woman Show on May 7th in Los Angeles!!
Devadasi: A Story of Sex, Power and Devotion tells my story of joining a Russian Tantric Cult, giving my power away to a “spiritual master” and the journey of reclaiming my power back.
It has been an incredible journey, and continues to be, from the conception of the show to this very day. I am in the full experience of understanding how healing and transformative storytelling is, as I continue to break the silence and unravel layers of emotion and memories of my time in the cult and relationship with the “spiritual master” at that time.
When I first announced the show a couple weeks ago, I heard from so many and am incredibly grateful for the support and witnessing. I feel that to witness and be witnessed in our darkest places is one of the most healing experiences we can have, personally and collectively. I’m profoundly grateful to bring that experience to live theater.
I want to give a very special thank you and great big bow to Christina Dunbar, who is producing this show and whose support, love and creative direction have held me solid in this process.
Below is the full description and ticket link for the show. Please note that my show is part of a larger evening of women’s solo performances. There are two shows, and you have the option to buy a ticket to my show (Part 2), or to both shows (Part 1 & 2) for a discounted price. I have witnessed and have the honor to know the other two performers and they are wonderful!
Devadasi: A Story of Sex, Power and Devotion
Devadasi tells Reena’s story of joining a Russian Tantric Cult and falling in love with a “spiritual master” who she makes her God. By helping Reena awaken to an ancient remembrance of herself as a Devadasi, an Indian Temple Priestess, what is at first an empowering relationship soon turns into one of psychological and spiritual manipulation.
Direct interventions by the Goddess Kali, wake Reena up to face the pain of her reality and her own self-hate, a centuries old patriarchal force. It is through Reena’s devotion to Kali, in and through her body, that she learns to dance with her own darkness and reclaim the power and sacredness of her body and sexuality.
Through 8 different characters, movement and dance, Reena takes you on an intimate, humorous and mystical journey into the underworld.
