Namak

Synopsis

IHC Theatre Festival 2023 Namak (Hindi & Bhojpuri/35 mins). A Hindi adaptation of the English play Salt, written by Abhishek Majumdar, Namak revolves around a family of three women — a mother and two daughters — who are coping with the pandemic and its resulting shortcomings by telling each other stories and faking the food on their plate. It talks about how nationalism has been used to hide the incompetence of the government, and the price the poor and hungry pay for it.
