Mourning Sita is a live multimodal 15 - 30 minutes performance that combines poetry, performance, and audience participation. ‘Sita’ is a character from the Ramayana Epic, known throughout South Asia and Southeast Asia. There are many retellings of Sita — in all of them she is dug from the Earth, married to Rama and kidnapped to Lanka. After her kidnapping, her purity was put to question. She danced through fire to prove her chastity. Even after passing this test, people continue to doubt Sita’s virginity causing Rama to desert her. Sita has been reappropriated as an emblem against rape culture in Thailand’s #MeToo movement.
