‘Parting with Words’ brings English and Hindi poems from all over the world that speak for, with, and about death. Woven together in dramatic reading, they open a space for a dialogue about our hopes, fears, feelings and thoughts related to parting. They intend to make death part of our conversation and contemplation such that we recognise dying as the inevitable and significant companion of our living.
