While previously the group staged a play based on the issue of citizenship laws, this time around a play based on the child rights, titled Dream Eating Monster, was staged. The performances kicked off with a show at HEMS School in Ratopul, in Kathmandu.
Dream Eating Monster tells the story of an impoverished girl named Shivani, who is often at the receiving end of verbal abuse and harassment in school. To make matters worse, her impoverished parents decide to marry her off to a wealthy man from Kathmandu, who promises that Shivani will be allowed to attend school after the marriage. But things do not turn out as expected.
The play, according to the organisers, is based on real incidents and was directed by Aryan Neupane, and featured actors Subhash Subedi, Amisa Adhikari, Abhaya Devkota, Manish Lama, Rabin Tamang, Sanjay Paudel, Shishir Aryal, and Aasma Dahal, among others
