Synopsis: "Come Home" is a choreo-poem between a mother, Bhavani, and her daughter, Lakshmi, both reaching for each other. Each set of stanzas represent a different stage of their relationship - as a young child and young mother, and later with Lakshmi as a teen, young adult, and then as a mother herself. This short play is part of a larger performance project on ancestral legacy, trauma, collective healing, and social transformation inspired by the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.
