Synopsis: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
21st Century unfolds individual experiences on finding their own sense of self within social moralities. This self-written play breaks the lines of social conventions formed in urban spaces, halting existence of an alternate route concerning morality and cultural conditioning. The journey explores the themes of conformity and individual agency in the millennial era. The plot maneuvers through the journey of multiple individuals, enhancing their sensibility and experiences as they explore various spaces and time. With multiple characters enhancing the anxieties and insecurities that subdue the voice of individual reason, the play continues to elaborate on the constant turmoil and dilemma experienced by individuals with an existential awareness.
