Amm(i)gone key art
Presented by PlayCo, Woolly Mammoth Theatre, The Flea, and Kelly Strayhorn Theater
Adil Mansoor is a Virgo Pakistani-American theater queerdo. His mother is an Aquarian hijabi Quranic scholar. Since she discovered Adil鈥檚 queerness online, their once-close bond now needs rescue. In Amm(i)gone, a portmanteau of 鈥渁mmi鈥� (鈥渕other鈥� in Urdu) and the Greek heroine Antigone, Mansoor invites us on a journey of heartbreak and repair between mother and son as they embark on an examination and translation of Sophocles鈥� Antigone into Urdu. Passionately mining Greek tragedy, Islam, and their own memories, they seek to recover their love across faith.
Created, Co-Directed and Performed by Adil Mansoor
