Details

Mother Tongue is a speculative, choreopoetic play about the Grenadian heritage I carry with me because of my mother, who immigrated to Brooklyn. The play features folktale figures who come to my mother in dreams and ancestral figures who I look to for inspiration. The play is haunting, vulnerable, and heart-filling.

All patrons must be asymptomatic and vaccinated and proof of vaccination and ID must be checked at the door by Yale College Arts staff.
