Event Description: MARCH 10 – 15, 2015 Boys With Cars, Let Me Borrow That Top & Fish Eyes An audacious trio of dance-plays by Anita Majumdar Written, Choreographed and Performed by Anita Majumdar Directed by Brian Quirt Lighting Design by Rebecca Picherack Set & Costume Design by Jackie Chau Sound Design by Joelysa Pankanea Produced by Rupal Shah “One cannot help but feel amazement at how this young woman manages to do everything she does…” Drumbeat Magazine, Montreal “Deliriously Canadian… always buoyant… I defy you not to laugh.” – The Georgia Straight “She can act, she can write. She is even a mean Kathak dancer! And she accomplishes all this with ease, elegance and intelligence.” – Deepa Mehta, director of “Midnight’s Children” “Beyoncé, eat your heart out. When it comes to shaking your booty and making the moves on the dance floor, there is nobody like Anita Majumdar. The star, playwright and choreographer of…”Fish Eyes” and “Boys with Cars” has Beyoncé beat by far.” Ottawa Life Magazine Boys With Cars, Let Me Borrow That Top & Fish Eyes all use music and dance to tell the coming-of-age stories of three young women in small town Canada. In Fish Eyes, Meena is an accomplished classical Indian dancer who would trade it all for a chance at true love with her crush Buddy, the most popular boy in school. Boys With Cars tells the parallel story of Naz, who is accepted into Buddy’s clique but soon realizes it’s not at all how she imagined it would be. Finally, in Let Me Borrow That Top, we hear directly from Candice, Naz’s nemesis and the perceived obstacle in Meena’s path to Buddy. Inspired by so-called honour killings, hip hop and teenage heartache, Anita’s tour de force performances celebrate the joy and awkwardness of youth while slyly tackling issues of colonialism and cultural identity.
