“Lucky Boy” author Shanthi Sekaran to speak in Livermore
Author Shanthi Sekaran will discuss the interplay of immigration, parenting, class privilege and incarceration at the heart of her much-acclaimed novel “Lucky Boy” in a Rae Dorough Speaker Series talk at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 in the Bankhead Theater.
With immigration stories in the news almost daily and heated debate over related policy, Sekaran offers a clear-eyed view of the issues in all their complexity and human dimension. She delves deep into the stories that recount dramatically different immigration experiences.
“Immigration is the ultimate story – it encompasses every basic plot type: rags to riches, overcoming the monster, the quest, rebirth, comedy, tragedy, voyage and return,” Sekaran said in an interview published by BookBrowse. “Migration is a process of transcendence that reaches into so many aspects of our lives; it’s not always about passports and visas. Motherhood is a form of migration. So is love, and so is death.”
For additional information, see the Rae Dorough Speaker Series (RDSS) Website: http://raedoroughspeakerseries.org/ Tickets – 925.373.6800 or www.bankheadtheater.org | PO Box 592 | Livermore | CA 94551
Ashrutam – The Unheard Voice – An Indian Dance production
Ashrutam – The Unheard Voice is an Indian Dance-Theater production that honors and recognizes the contribution of Devadasis to Indian performing arts. Devadasis were a matriarchal community of women who were not only instrumental in cultivating and propagating arts through the generations, but they were also fiercely independent women who challenged the norms of the patriarchal society. Ashrutam shares my interpretation of their voice and a narrative of their life.
Nov 1 – Nov 3, ODC Theater, San Francisco
