Synopsis:

In a moment of crushing despair, a queer man attempts to end his life—only to awaken in a surreal limbo, the mythical Baitarnee river. Suspended between worlds, he begins to construct a vivid, often whimsical realm born of imagination and mystical characters. But as the world repeats on itself reality begins to seep in, and the cracks in his illusion deepen, casting long shadows across his mind. What begins as a colorful escape becomes a descent into the murky spaces of identity, memory, trauma and truth. This mysterious, emotionally charged play—infused with dark humor and raw vulnerability—traces a deeply personal journey. It explores what it means to be queer, to feel trapped by one’s own trajectory, and to fight for a way back to life, to self-acceptance, and to the possibility of moving on. Colorfully dark, achingly human, and ultimately redemptive—this is not just a queer story, but a profoundly human one.
