About The Event
After winning multiple awards across Europe and the UK The Chai Queens comes to Kolkata for two special performances before continuing its European journey to Festival d Milano and Festival d Catania.
Set against the backdrop of an Indian wedding, The Chai Queens follows childhood friends Babli and Tejal as they reunite after fifteen years. What begins as a joyful celebration soon uncovers buried memories, unspoken emotions and long-held desires.

This is a vivid, sensuous portrait of queer life for women in India, with enrapturing deeply believable performances, Bingefringe UK.
