When memory is both a gift and a curse.
4 Mar - 23 Mar 2025 | ASB Waterfront Theatre
Beginning in a small coastal Sri Lankan village, a mixtape for maladies follows Sangeetha, a young woman who treasures music as a way to connect with her family. Her crush on a local shopkeeper is cut short as the country falls into civil war, forever altering her path. Now residing in Aotearoa with her son Deepan, Sangeetha’s old mixtape is all that remains of her former life. As Deepan plays each song, he unearths his family’s bittersweet story, illuminating the weight of history and a new understanding of identity.
Seventeen tracks on an old mixtape reveal bittersweet memories of a family’s resilience behind every song.
