Indie Nile op Boring Festival 2024

About Me & My Mother

Funny, emotional & psychological, this theater piece aims to heal the mother wound using Indie Nile’s signature “drag therapy”. In the show, Indie appears on the stage as a drag version of his mother. During the stand-up sections of the show, he speaks with his own voice as the man who struggles with the ‘love/hate’ relationship with his mother. During the lipsync parts, he becomes his mother as he lipsyncs to dramatic pop songs that tell her life story. In Indie’s own words: “I believe that when you are ready to laugh about your trauma, is when you’ve started healing it. That’s how I know I’m finally ready to tell you a story about me and my mother. The full story with all its highs and lows”.
