Synopsis of the play:
Set in conflict-ridden Kashmir, The Djinns of Eidgah follows orphaned siblings Bilal and Ashrafi growing up amid fear and uncertainty. As Ashrafi’s mind moves between reality and imagination, djinns appear as part of her world, blurring what is seen and what is felt. A psychiatrist’s attempt to help unfolds alongside their lives. Quiet yet intense, the play captures fractured childhoods and survival in a land shaped by conflict.
