Why English? - Layers beneath the language!
A woman finds it hard to find work as an actor, since she can’t speak the languages of her own land - India.
Was this not normal? She starts feeling like a stranger in her own home. The infamous colonial hangover creating chaos worldwide!
Witness a journey of revelations using beautiful scenography, the spoken word and physical action.
Inspired by personal experiences and interactions, Vibhinna invites the audience to experience the nuances of linguistic diversity and its role in our interconnected world. A light hearted show with a powerful undertone!
