The play merges live-projection, sand art and storytelling in a way that never seen before.
Bina and Surekha are college friends who haven’t met for years. Now they have met but are stuck in a car in a terrible traffic jam.
For Surekha, this is an everyday situation. She drives, swears and is not above nudging a car that is refusing to give way. But is there more to her aggression?
With no way out of the jam, they revisit their days back in Darjeeling and the treachery of their current lives.
Matters take a sinister turn when Surekha scratches a bigger car. Was it deliberate? Why? In a headless turn of events, past and present merge, mirror and oppose each other.
One decision can change your life forever, even if you believe you have forgotten - others remember.

Produced by Harkat Studios:
Liberating stories from the confinement of space, Harkat Studios has pulled together this mighty concoction of theatrewalas, film makers and storytelling artists.
True to the space of Harkat Studios, this theatre company stands for experiment and accessibility.
Merging art forms – to strip off the unnecessary to add the immersive – we explore profoundly simple stories with a technical complexity that turns them into an experience that you can almost physically ‘feel’.
Come, sway along as we flow between mediums.
