SUMMARY:Silambam Phoenix presents Waves of Resistance (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Waves of Resistance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Sunday September 13\, 2026\, 3pm \nWhere: Third Street Theater\, Phoenix Center for the Arts\, 1202 N 3rd Street\, Phoenix\, AZ 85004 \nTickets: General Admission- $20\, VIP- $40 \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nAfter a successful developmental run in May\, Waves of Resistance is making its Phoenix premiere! \nIn 1763\, a group of colonists in America threw tea off of a slew of British ships in Boston Harbor to protest the taxes levied on them by a government across the sea. \nIn 1930\, thousands of Indians gathered across the country to march to the sea shore and make salt in protest of import taxes\, state sanctioned violence\, and centuries of colonial rule and exploitation which could no longer be denied. \nBut what brings the ordinary citizen to take up the cause of liberty? What drives them to lift their head and say “no more”? \nWaves of Resistance is a comparative production where we travel back in time and see our forebears\, Americans and Indians\, wake up and make valiant efforts to pursue liberty and freedom. \n“An investigation of the nature of revolution.”
