To register and for more information call us on : +91 90759 29809 The performance opens for all general audiences at 5:30pm. This immersive experience invites you to engage deeply with themes of collective grief, memory, and shared human connection. Performed by two dancers and an audio describer, the piece integrates poetic audio description, ensuring an inclusive and evocative exploration of loss and togetherness. Seated in a circle, the audience becomes an integral part of the performance, engaging in small tactile interactions—subtle invitations to merge personal sorrow with communal expression. Through minimalist staging, tactile props, and ambient soundscapes, the piece reflects on loss, memory, and the global crises shaping our world. What does it mean to exist together? How have the pandemic, wars, and ongoing global disasters affected us all? We invite you to experience this journey with us.
