The Chai Queens - A Tale of Love & Longing

Taranjit Kaur (India)

About

A tale of love, longing, lust, and the quiet, impossible choices lovers make in the name of family, culture, and survival. Amidst the music and rituals of an opulent Indian wedding, childhood best friends and lovers, Babli and Tejal reunite after 15 years. As the wedding celebrations unfold over three days and nights, Babli and Tejal steal moments over chai—hands brushing over shared cups, warmth seeping into cold fingers, words dissolving into steam - past, present and future collide. Desire wars with duty, longing with loss. In a world that never made space for them, can they carve out their own? Or will they walk away—

After a successful run last year, of performing in Stories from India with Unerase Poetry, Taranjit Kaur is back with The Chai Queens.
