Mataji
A Naatak Original
Mataji, born on the banks of the Ganga, has a simple gift to offer to the world: a loving hug. Over two decades, she has traveled to sixty-five countries, hugging thousands of devotees in one sitting, sending them into raptures through the transmission of pure bliss that accompanies her hugs. Her followers on five continents regard her as Krishna incarnate. Then, on her sixteenth visit to California, she confronts a devotee she cannot satisfy. Through him, she discovers much about her powers, and the world discovers much about her.

Final Solutions
This critically acclaimed play by Sahitya Akademi award-winning playwright Mahesh Dattani examines the never-ending saga of Hindu-Muslim conflict in India. Which “side” should take the blame for the madness? What does the future hold? The play ponders these difficult questions through the lens of three generations of a middle-class Gujarati family as they harbor two Muslim boys during a communal riot. Through a stylishly choreographed "mob" that represents the collective voice of either community, and a narrative that slickly moves back and forth between today and 1947, Final Solutions makes us rethink our own communal prejudices and perceptions.
