Seven actors, forty voices, one impossible question: whose Kashmir is this anyway?
Chronicles from Kashmir seeks to create a sense of “balance”: between differently positioned voices that emerge when speaking about Kashmir; between differently placed narratives on the “victim”/“perpetrator” spectrum. While there is an inevitable streak of political commentary that runs throughout the work – a political current that cannot be escaped when talking about Kashmir – Chronicles from Kashmir does not espouse any one political ideology. We see ourselves as being artists and educators, using aesthetics and pedagogy to engage audiences with diverse perspectives from/about the Valley.

Direction
Dinesh's refusal to resolve tension is the whole point.
Production
Theatre origins visible: bare stages, no B-roll, just bodies and words.
