THE STORY: The power of language is celebrated in Madeline Sayet’s one-person play about heritage, passion, and cultures colliding. Growing up in a Mohegan family, Madeline felt the pressure to learn and pass along all she could of her culture. When she ends up falling for Shakespeare and moving to the UK to study his works, her family’s expectations and colonialism’s unrooting of native peoples’ rituals weigh heavily on her. Where We Belong dramatizes the push and pull of honoring where you came from and inhabiting a world that requires permission to be a part of it.
