See Jane Run: An Indo Story
See Jane Run: An Indo Story is a solo memoir play written and performed by Jane Vogel Mantiri. It confronts grief, inspires hope, and is a universal story steeped in love. The play is an exhale after decades of silence. Indo-refugee immigrants fleeing Indonesia after World War II suppressed their Indo identity because it was a source of danger and shame. They wanted their children to be spared the pain,and encouraged, cajoled, and forced them to assimilate to a new culture. Now, Indos around the world are calling out to each other to tell their stories and reclaim their identity before the culture vanishes. For the ancestors and for future generations, the rich legacy of Indo culture lives on in storytelling. This play is one Indo’s story about love, loss, generational trauma, racism, forced displacement, resilience, and being happy.
