MINNEAPOLIS: Aditi Brenna Kapal, a local playwright from the Twin Cities, showcased her fourth play in the season, Love Person, honoring women at Mixed Blood Premier which is showing in the months of February and March. It is a love mystery of words which is performed in many different language including American Sign Language (ASL), spoken English, projected E-mails and Sanskrit. The hearing challenged and deaf audiences can fully understand his play.

Love Person shares stories of two couples, one that is straight and the other that is lesbian, and are surround with three cultures and four different languages. The interesting part of this is that these connections are not through their sexual orientation or their physical appearances but more through misunderstanding through everyday communication. Love person tries to answer the question of if American Sign Language and Sanskrit can fall in love.

Aditi Kapal got this brilliant of idea of love play when doing college voicing for the Northern Sign Theater company. At that time she was also doing extensive research of Sanskrit for a different project of hers. She never mastered either language, but became to see parallels between the two languages in her own mind. Her curiosity lead her to the library to uncover Sanskrit Love Poems translated in the 70s and more poems from that book became the crux of the play.

Aditi claims no influence of Bollywood in her play, but it is a similar plot line to the Bollywood movie Mujhse Dosti Karoge where one sister writes e-mails on behalf of her sister in order for her sister to go out with a guy. To add to this, in one of the scene in the play the guy portrays his love with hand action on keyboard like actions of the movie Mohabatein. This show is different, humorous, adorable and must be seen nationwide.
