Diaspora Inferno: From My Grandmother's Kitchen at Drayton Arms Theatre

Diaspora Inferno: From My Grandmother’s Kitchen is a devised physical theatre work inspired by Dante’s Inferno and reimagined through the lens of diaspora survival, generational silence, and womanhood. The piece moves through seven “sins” — Gluttony, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Greed, and Pride — not as moral judgments, but as emotional inheritances shaped by migration, trauma, and resilience.

The kitchen in this production is a symbol of survival and silence — a sacred domestic space where immigrant women cook, mourn, remember, and resist. Through movement, sound, testimony, and ritual, we hope to amplify stories that are often unheard or buried between generations.
