 \n\nOakland, CA Aug, 30 2011 – Janaki - Daughter of the Dirt is a story 
 of ancient archetypes that reflects modern day dilemmas. It is the journey 
 of a young woman who looks to her own personal superhero, “Sita” (also 
 known as “Janaki”) for answers to life's problems. Only this Sita is 
 not the perfect woman as is portrayed in the ancient “Ramayana”, one of 
 Hinduism’s most known and revered epics. \n\nA bay area production, 
 Janaki’s world premier will occur this September 16th -18th at the 
 Mission Cultural Center (2868 Mission St.)  in San Francisco. Written by 
 first time playwright Virali Gokaldas and directed by Krishnakali Chaudhuri 
 and Shruti Purkayashta, this ground breaking stage production of Janaki 
 touches upon issues of power, sexism and classism from the perspective of 
 Sita. With an all star cast, the role of Janaki is played by the renowned 
 actress and activist Kiran Patel.\n\n“I wrote Janaki – Daughter of Dirt 
 to show that Hindu goddesses, just like the women in my family, are not 
 self-sacrificing devotees,” said playwright Virali Gokaldas.  “They are 
 complex, powerful, strong-willed examples, helping us hold compassion for 
 others and ourselves, guiding us when making hard decisions, and above all, 
 giving us the courage to live out our own destinies.”\n\nTickets are 
 available now for purchase on BrownPaperTickets.com. It is the first stage 
 production to come out of the newly founded Siren Theatre Project 
 (www.sirentheatre.org).  \n
