About this event

I walk home. The skyline is changed. The skeleton is fast becoming a huge metal creature. They have built a behemoth here. Bhopal. India. 1984. Born under a blue sky in a city of lakes, a girl grows up with her father and sister. The three of them together, always. But as she grows, the land begins to change. A giant factory rises over her town. Her mother always wanted more for them – now the girl wants more too. Then comes the night that tears everything apart. Ferocious, brutal and damning, this epic story of a life ravaged by ecological disaster is written by Titas Halder ( Foal , Finborough) and directed by Matthew Xia ( Tambo & Bones , ATC / Stratford East). Starring international star Linnea Berthelsen , best known globally for her breakout role as Kali Prasad (008) in Netflix’s worldwide phenomenon Stranger Things. Concept by Émilie Chen.
