Her unique passport...and bloody Canada.In this autobiographical show, with all original music, she shares her story of displacement, racial profiling, and visa rejections.

Blacklisted takes you on a voyage from the rooftops of Karachi to the soft sands of Coogee in a cheeky, genre-blending story of one woman’s journey home.Immerse yourself in the exclusive experience of sitting front and centre on opulent floor rugs during Blacklisted, all whilst being serenaded and savouring a delightful cup of Chai in the intimate ambiance of Almitra's living room.
