Directed by Grace Kalaiselvi
Devised and Performed by Ruby Jayaseelan, Mumtaj Maricar
Music by Thirukumaran
Production Design by Emanorwatty Saleh
Dramaturgy by Noor Effendy Ibrahim
Saratha and Rathi live together in a peaceful home, playing hide-and-seek and, telling each other amazing imaginative stories to pass the day. Saratha loves her job as a printmaker! She works with colours, designs and patterns on her sarees. Rathi wants to join in the fun too!
But Rathi soon realises something, or rather, someone is missing. She doesn’t know where he has gone, or if he is coming home.
Saratha puts on a brave face, to help Rathi be strong. The mother-daughter pair go on a journey through stories, song, laughter, some tears and lots and lots of colourful brilliant sarees to find a space where they can truly rely on each other and discover how to be the best family they could ever be.
