When Abasiama and Disciple’s only son, Ekong asks Lumanthi Rathi to be his wife, they accept that their dream wedding might have to go on without either of their fathers present. But when Lumanti’s dad has a sudden change of heart, Ekong dares to attempt a reconciliation with his long-estranged father in order to make the ritual of their wedding ceremony truly whole.
A moving, multigenerational story that intertwines Nigerian and Nepali cultural traditions, The Ceremony is a joyous, tender reckoning of love and the rituals that bind us, brought to life by CHUANG Stage, in partnership with Boston Playwrights’ Theatre and Boston University School of Theatre, catalyzed by the Huntington.
At CHUANG Stage, tickets are Pay-As-You-Are—our way of providing radical access to theatre for those who have been historically excluded from Boston’s arts audiences, especially working-class immigrants of Asian American descent. Pick the price that works for you—your choice helps us keep theatre radically accessible for our whole community.
