THE TIGER AND THE MOUSTACHE
"We all have a journey to make stupid girl, even you!"
Born on the very first day of a new nation, Hashi, the girl who always smiles, grew up surrounded by tigers in the Sunderban jungles and ended up keeping chickens in the bath in a Glasgow housing estate. In this solo show, I trace both the journey of my mother from Bangladesh to the UK and the journey of my motherland through bloodshed, trains, planes and a million bicycles.
The show is both semi-autobiographical and historical, flitting between moments in my own life and events between 1947 and 1971. These historical snapshots look specifically at the creation of Pakistan (East and West) and the tensions therein, leading to protests and bloodshed at then eventually the formation of Bangladesh. The show also touches upon what it means to be a second generation immigrant living in the UK today.
The Tiger and the Moustache is now available for touring. Please contact me for more information and a touring pack.
