Dhaya Lakshminarayanan's long last name will TAKEOVER the Asian Art Museum. Watch as the exhibits are overtaken by exotic syllables, sounds and letters.
For this one-night-only event, stand-up comedian, storyteller and mischief-maker Dhaya Lakshminarayanan literally takes over the museum to share stand-up comedy, comedian-led fauxcent (fake docent) tours and a bizarre participatory Dada Amar Chitra Katha reading.
On July 13, enjoy a stand-up comedy club experience featuring up-and-coming and surprise guest comedians in Samsung Hall. Take an informative, yet fake, tour of the exhibits led by fauxcents (docents who are unqualified to lead anything, but are very very funny). And participate in Dada Amar Chitra, a highly interactive absurdist and hilarious interpretation of comic book art and stories which have taught Hindu mythology and Indian history to millions of children of the Indian diaspora.
Laugh at history. Lampoon tradition. Learn in a funny way.
