About the Show

Jiv is “Canadian.” And “Indian.” And “West Indian.” “Trinidadian”, too. Or maybe he’s just colonized. In Take d Milk, Nah?, Jiv blends personal storytelling and ritual to walk an audience through the Hin-dos and Hin-don’ts at the intersections of these cultures. The show is a refreshingly candid and delightfully funny look at race, religion, and nationalism(s): what divides us—and what we’re willing to accept in the desire to belong. Oh, and there’s a cow.

Take d Milk, Nah? made its West Coast debut at The Cultch in October 2019 before heading to Ottawa and the National Arts Centre in January 2020. It was slated to move on to Toronto (Theatre Passe Muraille) and Montreal (MAI) this spring, but these runs have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
