About ‘Photo-Copy’:
“I saw in a dream that I’m standing and on the wall opposite me, there is a photograph of my dead father with a garland of fresh flowers around the frame. Suddenly a hand emerges out of the frame and makes me wear the garland instead. Now my father is standing and looking at a photograph on the wall - that photograph is a photograph of my face, with a garland of fresh flowers around the frame.”
Photo-Copy explores themes of loss, grief, and reconciliation. A troubled family of four grapples with the death of the head of the family, and the state of uncertainty that ensues with the absence of a husband and a father.
The eldest sibling, Satyaprakash begins to question his own identity as memories of his father fade and warp and he can’t recognize himself with his people anymore.
Where is his emotional responsibility towards his family? On his father’s 15th death anniversary, he goes back to his family home to re-live these distant memories. What unfolds is not what the family desires, but is undeniably needed for their survival.
Will this turmoil leave Satyaprakash’s mother, brother, and sister devastated once again, or will the family be able to redefine their state of uncertainty and find a way forward?
Join us for ‘Photo-Copy’ as we explore the depths of human emotion and resilience in an unforgettable theatrical journey.
