I found this collection most interesting in the way the playwrights have woven history, spirituality, and love into questions of identity and sense of belonging. It draws on personal, political, and spiritual inheritances - be it through Gandhi’s legacy, inter-caste love, the night journey of Mi’raj, or gender and tradition in Vesha.
They evoke questions such as “Who am I, in relation to my past?” “What stories or who has shaped my sense of belonging?” “Can one escape the burden of legacy?” These plays don’t give easy answers, but they do handhold in the search.
