About the play:
What happens when we finally face our truths? Perhaps we hear a very strange sound…
Mira and Simon sit on a bench. They share an apple. They talk. Someone leaves. They do this again. And again. Mira talks about her favourite grocery store. Simon talks about chess. Silence. And again. Mira and Simon are friends.....
Bhūmikampa-Das Erdbeben is an independent collaboration between Samragni and Marvin. It is currently a
work-in-progress. This event is a part of the process for the artists to receive
feedback from the audience. There will be a
discussion at the end of the play reading.
