From Little Tibet to London and Disillusion
Two women leave their remote idyllic home in the Roof of the World to sea-level London with its homeless, its homes of the aged and the ubiquitous, gigantic garbage dumps far removed from bright double decker buses and Buckingham Palace! Two women face the onslaught of the Consumerism and the inevitable destruction of diverse cultures.

Heading Towards and Hurtling Away
Where are we heading? Life gets harder and faster all the time. We are hurtling away from the natural world and a sense of community. Yet we are continually told that all this will improve out lives, as will the globalization of the economy, deregulation, free trade, and ever bigger corporate mergers.
Jagriti
Jagriti is a Performance Arts space dedicated to Theatre, Music, Dance and Comedy. Founded in 2011 by Arundhati and Jagdish Raja, the space has hosted several productions from India and around the world. A 200-seat theatre, built around a full-thrust stage, it is fully equipped to cater to both artistes and audience. The main stage is designed for intimate performances with adjoining spaces for informal lectures and gatherings. Jagriti is owned and operated by the not-for-profit ART Foundation, a registered charitable trust.
The Rooftop - above the main auditorium is an open-to-sky space with a staging area that can accommodate about 50 people. A raised and walled off platform can work as a perfect area for puppet theatre. The Rooftop has a restroom and a pantry.
The Terrace - alongside the auditorium, the Terrace can accommodate about 20 people as an informal gathering area.
Lumbini - extending out from the foyer, Lumbini has a stage and an open-to-sky terraced space for about 80 people.
