Description “Guru of Chai,” a production from one of New Zealand’s most successful theatre companies, Indian Ink, has come to the U.S. for the first time.

“Guru of Chai” tells a story of simple truths that connects the lives of a poor chai wallah (tea seller), a young girl, a policeman, and a poet — all played out against the backdrop of contradictions between technology and ancient gods in modern day India. This forms the basis of the story about the dangers of people keeping their souls locked in a cage. The guru’s life is changed forever when a young girl is abandoned at the station
