Amm(i)gone

Adil Mansoor is a queer Virgo Pakistani-American theater queen. His single mother is an Aquarian Hijabi Quranic scholar. Since she discovered Adil’s sexuality online, their once-close bond now needs its own fierce rescue mission. In Amm(i)gone, a portmanteau of “ammi” (“mother” in Urdu) and the Greek heroine Antigone, Mansoor invites us on a journey of heartbreak and repair between mother and son as they embark on an examination and translation of Sophocles’ Antigone into Urdu. Passionately mining Greek tragedy, Islam, and their own memories, they seek to recover their love across faith.
