"Fresh and interesting.
The heart of Māyā lies in the music."
Stephen Schwartz
Maya: The Musical is developed in part as a fiscally sponsored project of Leviathan Lab, a non profit arts organization.
In the twilight of the British Empire, an aspiring poet named Maya Mehta sets out to make her mark on the world.
Her ambitions lead her to the heart of the Indian Independence Movement, as Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March passes through her hometown. Torn between her duty to her family and the inspiration of her freedom-fighting friends, Maya ultimately defies the Empire in both word and actions — joining the legacy of India’s quest for sovereignty, but at the cost of her family’s privilege and status.
With a contemporary score that fuses Indian classical music with Western pop, Maya is the story of how one poet, one dreamer, one person can make a lasting mark on a movement.
