Chai Chai a new play by Anooj Bhandari

At the intersection of "this way" and "that way," a Giant sits at a Chai Stall, a Matchmaker wonders if she is losing her touch, and a very quiet character suddenly has a lot to say. Guided by a mythical chorus of fly elders, Chai Chai is a play about remembrance, memory, and what happens when we begin to forget.

This performance is toured on bicycles over 400 miles around New Mexico in two weeks by seven performers, carrying everything they need for the show and survival on their bikes.

This is a 90-minute play. It is FREE, family friendly, and will take place at FUSION | 708 on October 11th. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

There is now an additional performance at 4:30 PM for children!

Agile Rascal is a theater company that intersects the arts and cycling. Our mission is to make innovative theatre accessible, promote cycling as a viable means of transportation, inspire reverence for our natural landscape, and foster creative connections between artists, activists, and cyclists. We believe that art should be smart and funny, strange and lovely, and that it should be unstuffy, free, and inviting to all people. We aim to create shows that explore the many connections between our beliefs and values and the natural world that we are a part of.  

By touring on bicycle and creating from used materials, we challenge ourselves to imagine new and deeper connections to the earth, including the creatures and people who live on it. We work to build a community that: does a lot with a little, minimizes our impact on the land, works collaboratively, shares decision-making and responsibilities, and values different backgrounds, experiences, bodies, and abilities.
