The Good Manners of Colonized Subjects is a solo play by Shebana Coelho, a writer, director and performer originally from India, now based in New Mexico. Through original poetry and choreography drawn from flamenco and Sanskrit classical theatre, it interweaves dance and memoirs of colonization and liberation, circling towards a cathartic re-imagining of that moment indigenous to the species: the incandescent experience of art. The poetry/monologues are in English...with threads of Urdu, Spanish, Konkani, Mongolian. Duration: 75 minutes
