About The Event
An intriguing weave of 3 stories talk about what strength, hope can instill and how life without hope is impossible to sustain. Out of these three narratives, two are from young contemporary Rajasthani writers Arvind Charan and Chirag Khandelwal. And the one which basically lays foundation for the performance is by renowned Rajasthani writer Vijaydan Detha.
In Vijaydan Detha's story, a Marwari farmer, facing adversity after losing his wife and left with two children and barren land, contemplates a plan to abandon the kids in the face of drought, while both husband and wife hold onto different hopes.
Chirag Khandelwal's narrative follows 'Amar' during the COVID-19 mass migration, where he walks home with no resources, encountering a unique companion, a half-vulture-half-crow, highlighting the dual aspects of survival and death.
Arvind Charan's 'Maai' tells the tale of two brothers, Birju and Mandu, who leave their physically challenged mother in Mumbai during lockdown, returning a year later with a blend of guilt and relentless hope.
