In the twilight of the British Empire, an aspiring poet named Maya Mehta sets out to make her mark on the world. When Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March passes through her hometown, Maya is torn between duty to her family and the passionate ideals of her freedom-fighting friends in the Indian Independence Movement. Ultimately, through the power of words and actions, she defies the Empire and joins the legacy of India’s quest for sovereignty.
Through a contemporary score that fuses Indian classical music with Western pop, MĀYĀ is the story of how one poet, one dreamer, one person can make a lasting mark on a movement.
