Listeners, if you're enjoying Metra's take on storytelling-meets-collective action: have we got a show for you. We're thrilled to recommend a non-fiction podcast this week: one that weaves revolutionary stories from real-world justice movements--

What do a textile worker in Delhi, a student in a Palestinian refugee camp, and a farmworker in 1960s California have in common? In the midst of their struggle for freedom, they all turned to theatre.

Performing the Revolution is a limited-series podcast that knits these powerful stories together to create a global narrative featuring artists who put everything on the line in the struggle for justice. The series starts in New Delhi, India following Jana Natya Manch (Janam), a 50-year-old street theatre company that performs for India’s working class. It then moves to The Freedom Theatre in The West Bank – where kids fight to define who they are and what they dream about amidst a decades-long occupation – and on to El Teatro Campesino’s legacy of agitating during the historic California grape strikes.

Here is Episode 1; find all the episodes wherever you get podcasts.
