About The Event
The play unfolds in a small room behind a tea shop near Humayun’s Tomb, where two sex workers—Gracy and Nagina—find themselves caught amidst political, religious, and personal upheavals. As news spreads that the grave of Dara Shukoh, the liberal Mughal prince, has been discovered, they oscillate between survival, desire, memory, and history. Their banter and shared confidences reveal resilience and vulnerability, while the escalating unrest outside mirrors their inner turmoil. Ultimately, the struggle for dignity, identity, and safety collides with larger forces of intolerance and violence, culminating in a devastating choice that reframes liberation as both survival and sacrifice.
