This production, Rajat Kapoor’s latest, has had a successful run in Mumbai and is now brought to Delhi as part of the eighth season of Aadyam Theatre. The play delves into stories of love, loss, separation, and survival that unfold across continents and time frames.

A unique aspect of the play is the inclusion of birds as characters, which serve as witnesses to these transformative journeys, guiding the audience through a self-revelation about the past and the choices that have shaped humanity. The ensemble cast features notable actors such as Vinay Pathak, Mantra, Neil Bhoopalam, Waris Ahmed Zaidi, and Radhika Mehrotra. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 pm on both evenings.
