This is a performance influenced by the forcefully displaced global refugee crisis that takes cue from the plight of the Nepali-speaking Bhutanese refugees called the Lhotsampas. The play begins with a journey that seeks a place called home and slowly delves into the process of building a conducive environment through hardship and struggle. Eventually, a home is born only to confront a time when it faces sinister external forces again. The failure to defend one’s home forces its inhabitants out of it, falling prey to brute force. Ar life’s crossroads, when memories are overwhelming, the idea of returning home becomes impossible as everything has been burned to ashes.
