A love story caught between two worlds. What happens when love, culture and identity collide? A playful, moving dance-theatre piece by Mohit Mathur about belonging, family and finding a place to call “home”
Are You Even Indian? follows a British-born Indian woman and an Indian-born man who fall in love. It feels like fate. A meet-cute, wedding dances, Bollywood jokes, and plans for a future they believe they are building together. But as the relationship deepens, so do the cracks. Which country is “home”? What language will their child speak? Who gets to decide what makes someone truly Indian?
As personal choices clash with family expectations and social labels, the couple must confront love, compromise and the reality of living in between. Neither fully British, nor fully Indian, the show reflects the experience of a generation navigating relationships and heritage.
When both your homes ask you to apologise for who you are, how do you decide where you belong? This is a love story about proving your identity, not just to each other, but within the community.
“Highly recommended.”
