“Gaumukhi” is an existential solo drama tracing a cow’s journey as she grapples with profound questions of existence in a society that has outlawed her purpose. Set after India’s beef ban, she navigates her unwanted life on lease and the complex web of her religious, cultural, and social identity. Featuring live Indian classical music—Bhakti Sangeet, Sufism, and Kabir Bhajans—the play uses love and devotion to frame her inner dialogue. A reflection on India’s rising sectarianism, Gaumukhi invites audiences to see through sacred, marginalized eyes in a search for truth, redemption, and the contradictions of society.
