- A Poem For Rabia
A Tarragon Theatre production in association with Nightwood Theatre and Undercurrent Creations
An epic journey across time, oceans, and tectonic shifts in political history.
A Poem for Rabia weaves the stories of three queer women from the same bloodline: Zahra, a disillusioned activist in 2053, navigating a Canada that has just abolished prisons; Betty, in 1953 British Guiana, caught between her new secretarial job at the Governor’s office and the growing national independence movement; and Rabia, an Indian domestic worker in 1853, abducted by colonial ‘recruiters’ and sent sailing from Calcutta to the Caribbean on an indentured labour ship.
Written by Nikki Shaffeeullah
Co-Directed by Clare Preuss and Donna-Michelle St. Bernard
Live at Tarragon Theatre
