A thrilling rollercoaster ride with spectacle, heartfelt storytelling, and cultural authenticity.
Sid Akbar‘s work is deeply rooted in his personal experiences as a Queer British Pakistani from a Muslim background, and is driven by a passion for social and political change. For years, Sid found that there was a lack of representation for queer Muslim stories and roles for individuals like himself. As a result, he has dedicated his career to not only amplifying his own voice but also the voices of queer people of colour, working harder to ensure their stories are heard in a world that often overlooks them.
This new work in progress, “The Wrath of Khandan”, invites audiences on a thrilling rollercoaster ride with spectacle, heartfelt storytelling, and cultural authenticity, celebrating family in all its complexities, contradictions, and infinite possibilities.
