Maya embodies their collective struggles, turning historical tragedies into a universal modern crusade for liberation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ticket.lk\/citf-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/citf.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/tickets-lk.jpg\" width=\"800\" alt=\"citf\" title=\"citf\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salt and Blood is a powerful contemporary mono physical solo theater production designed to awaken global consciousness regarding female identity and socio-political agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5549"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5549"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5552,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5549\/revisions\/5552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citf.lk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
