Khūrākī

Through this remount of RealTime Arts’ popular theatrical experience Khuraki—meaning “eat” or “meal” in the Afghan language Dari– you’ll learn what Afghan refugees wish Americans knew about their country and culture. You'll discover how the creation of this unique theater work (a 2019 nominee for the Mayor’s Award for Public Art) led to the forming of a cooperatively-owned catering business, Zafaron, begun by the women whose stories you’ll hear. And you’ll enjoy a delicious, fresh-cooked Afghan tasting meal prepared by the women themselves. In addition to the performance and meal, each evening includes a post-show discussion and a “Where are they now?” of the women whose stories the show tells. Tickets are $35, which includes the show, post-show discussion and tasting meal.  $25 tickets are available for students and educators (with a student/faculty ID). If you are a member of the Pittsburgh Afghan community, your ticket is free. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
