Motherland is a visceral full bodied dragged up howl of a show exploring nationalism, identity and our ability to speak out. In Motherland, Jo Tyabji unapologetically reclaims the voices of politicians, YouTubers, British Indians and OCIs. In an era of India Rising and people Taking Back Britain, this is a show that asks: who are you, first?
