About The Event
Filmy Maa is a live solo performance shaped by real incidents, quiet observations, and philosophical reflection.
Through personal storytelling, Sufiyan Alam traces moments from his life that continue to linger in memory, with one constant presence at the heart of every story: his wonderfully dramatic, unapologetically filmy mother.
This is not a punchline-driven comedy show. The focus is on meaning on family, memory, and the small moments that quietly shape who we become. The performance explores the beautiful gap between the stories we grow up believing, the reality we eventually discover, and the love that binds them together. With warmth, honesty, and gentle humour, Filmy Maa unfolds like a heartfelt conversation, drawing the audience into an intimate and deeply immersive experience. Minimal in form and grounded in presence, it feels closer to narrative theatre than stand-up comedy.
At its core,Filmy Maa is a tribute to mothers, families, and the cinematic way we all remember our lives. The evening offers space to laugh softly, reflect deeply, and recognise pieces of your own story in someone else leaving you with memories that stay long after you leave the room.
