Burq Off!
The only way out is off!
Burq Off!, an autobiographical one-woman show written and performed by Nadia P. Manzoor, is a thought-provoking tour through madly opposing worlds.
The glowing promise of modern London versus the glum realities of a conservative Pakistani Muslim home are punctuated by fierce Bollywood dance moves, at least one blackout drinking incident, and a plaintive spiritual inquiry.
Embodying 21 different characters — a domineering father, soulful mum, saucy English friend and Islamic studies teachers whose interests range from slapping to pornography — Nadia illuminates her conflicted sense of identity while questioning repressive cultural norms.
Moving, funny, deeply personal and yet universal, Burq Off! explores what it takes to evolve past the veil.
