Synopsis: A boy wakes up one morning to find his family missing and decides to set out in search of his father. He leaves his home and heads into the unknown. The places he visits, the people he meets and the characters he encounters on his search, much like a treasure hunt, and the need to come back to his home forms the crux of the play.
The play talks about the joy of the ‘idea’ that is home, and the sense of nostalgia and grief at its loss. Will the boy find his father; will he return home; Is the home that he left the one that he will find when he returns? These are the questions he constantly encounters during his journey. The play uses imagery and performance to meander through the boy’s sometimes magical and other times banal quest.
Just Theatre: Is a not for profit art and theatre collective based out of Bangalore. Their most recent productions include Manav Kaul’s Five Grains of Sugar and Park, Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler and Ajay Krishnan’s Butter and Mashed Banana.
