The Anti “Yogi” a BFF 24 in 25 Free Event

It's BFF 24 in 25, the 9th Annual BFF Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre, February 25 through April 4, the only FREE Fringe Festival in the nation, offering 35 in-person plays, workshops and family-oriented events, today presenting:

THE ANTI "YOGI"

A “yogi” is not a skinny woman in Lululemon, but someone who renounces worldly life in pursuit of truth. Embark on a journey with Mayuri and the Goddess of Death, Kali, as they investigate absurdities of Western Yoga culture. As a yoga professor, what can her purpose be beyond educating people about yoga? Will the formidable Goddess Kali clear her path? Through a unique blend of dance and dramedy, live percussion and poetry, THE ANTI "YOGI" gives a much-needed voice to Yoga, calling out its recolonization in the West and nationalization in the East. This solo show peels back the yoga mat to reveal the true ethos of Yoga through a sensory immersive experience! Written & Performed by Mayuri Bhandari. Neel Agrawal percussionist. Co-director D’Lo. Co-director/dramaturg Shyamala Moorty. Produced by Jessica Lynn Johnson. Post-show Q&A.
