Director ' मृत्युको कामदार ', a play in collabaration with 'Tatsama Arts', Kathmandu, Nepal.
"After surviving a significant earthquake in Nepal, I crafted the production 'मृत्युको कामदार.' This play delves into grief and death, drawing from the personal narratives of a diverse ensemble. The cast comprised both seasoned professionals, including dancers and actors, and individuals new to the stage. Most of them only speaking Nepali, a language unfamiliar to me. Creating this play became an exploration: navigating collaborative creation after a shared traumatic event, even amidst language barriers. The production grappled with themes of tradition, globalization, and class differences. |
