Play - Deurali Daandi

DEURALI DAANDI portrays an enigmatic village in the hills of Nepal, where there are no more men due to a mysterious epidemic from many years ago. The women have long fended for themselves, but when the epidemic strikes again, they must take greater action to prevent their way of life from disappearing entirely. At once a celebration of ghatu naach, a critical examination of Nepal’s labor migration practices, and an exploration of women without men, Deurali Daandi will leave the audience deeply appreciating the disappearing practice of ghatu, and asking some hard questions about labor migration practices in Nepal.
