Marriage Material by Helly Shah at The Social House, Hauz Khas Village: A Modern Take on Love and Relationships
Helly Shah, a renowned spoken word poet, writer, and storyteller, returns with her new show Marriage Material at The Social House in Hauz Khas Village, Delhi. Following her acclaimed performances across 40-plus Indian cities and an off-Broadway run in New York, this hour-long storytelling and poetry event delves into the evolving dynamics of modern relationships and societal expectations around marriage.
The show offers a blend of narrative storytelling and spoken word poetry, providing a textured and engaging experience that goes beyond traditional stand-up or poetry readings. Drawing from personal experiences growing up in Gujarat, Helly humorously explores generational contrasts in what it means to be “marriage material” today versus the past. The themes resonate with young adults navigating dating culture while balancing familial and societal pressures.
Suitable for couples, young adults, and anyone interested in contemporary love stories with a reflective yet lighthearted tone, the intimate setting of The Social House enhances the connection between performer and audience. Given Helly’s popularity and the venue’s limited seating, early ticket booking is recommended to secure a spot.
