Adil Mansoor, a Pakistani-American theater artist, shares a deeply personal exploration of identity, family, and faith in Amm(i)gone. As a Virgo queer storyteller, he navigates the challenges of reconnecting with his mother, an Aquarian hijabi scholar of the Quran, whose discovery of his queerness online strained their once-close bond.
The piece, blending elements from Sophocles’ Antigone and Urdu culture, becomes a space for mother and son to confront their differences, translating ancient tragedy while seeking reconciliation and healing. Through a mix of memory, faith, and theater, they strive to bridge the distance and rediscover their love.
