The story revolves around a young girl Mi Chin who survived the bombing attacks. She lives with her parents now and her family is struggling to survive.
The seven year old girl Mi Chin saw her city destroyed just in few minutes.
The girl and her family have seen their friends and relatives and neighbours dead and now this is their time to start a new life, which was not easy. With the heavy sounds and vibrant light design the scenes of war were presented.
Use of Thang-Ta and Taichi could also be seen in the war scenes and in the scenes where the survivors were struggling.
While talking to The Pioneer, Shruti Kirti said that light design and music played a vital role in the entire ballet. Through various contemporary dance movies the ballet was presented. It was a mesmerising mixture of dance, music and emotions.
The artists with matured acting skills added much zest in the performance.
