Witness Manav Kaul’s powerful and poignant solo performance – Traasadi – at KCC’s AMI Arts Festival 2024 as he digs deep into the grief that comes with losing one’s mother. 

The word "mother" in itself feels so complete of comfort. But after her going away, what plagues one the most is the word "repentance". This tale is a journey from “mother” to the “repentance”. To be engulfed by repentance borne of a mother's absence, and in that living of repentance, to find one's mother back again.
