Synopsis of the play:
Set in the late 1985, the play follows Meera, a young Kotha gharwali forced to shoulder
responsibilities at an early age. Alongside her journey, the play introduces other women from
different backgrounds, each grappling with their own desires and realities. It also highlights
the harsh tradition of Jogta and Jogtin, and revealing how women from different worlds share
similar pain, longing, and sacrifice. As their stories unfold, the play questions the true nature
of a woman’s desires, identity, and sense of completeness. In the end, the narratives come full
circle, where the end becomes the beginning.
Trigger warning: Viewer discretion advised. Suitable for audiences aged 14 and above due to mature thematic content and symbolic representation.
