Just as Eve Ensler’s confessional play “The Vagina Monologues” took the taboo out of the V-word nearly 30 years ago, an offshoot version of the play called “Yoni ki Baat” has been shedding light since 2003 on the private and sometimes traumatic stories of South Asian women in America.
The goal of Ahaana and YKB, Mehta said, is to raise awareness about women and help them recover from their struggles with mental abuse, rape, violence, identity crises and other issues. San Diego’s YKB production returns this weekend after a three-year pandemic break, with one performance Saturday at the University of San Diego, and a second performance Sunday in Tustin. It will feature four women sharing their YKB monologues. The second part of the program will be “MenOlogues,” which Mehta created in 2018, to offer South Asian men the same opportunity to share their trauma with an understanding audience. This year one man will be presenting.
