"An utterly captivating exploration of such universal dualities as life and death, beauty and knowledge, order and chaos, sacrifice and bliss... Given the show's wit, tremendous energy, profound expression and kinetic drama, it's difficult to imagine storytelling done in any other way." --Camille LeFevre, Minneapolis

Based on an ancient Indian tale that inspired Thomas Mann's novella of the same name, this is storytelling at its finest. Adapted for the stage and directed by Zaraawar Mistry, The Transposed Heads tells the story of a woman torn between her love for two men--one for his physical beauty and one for his intellect.
United by the silent language of gesture, Ranee Ramaswamy and Deaf actor Nicole Zapko create an amazing theatrical experience as they become the many characters in this compelling drama. This evening-length piece is narrated in English and accompanied by an evocative score performed live by Carnatic vocalist Nirmala Rajasekar. The Transposed Heads was created for Deaf and hearing audiences.
