Liberty Theatre president Yambem Satya, playwright Kshetri Sanajaoba and Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre (EZCC), Kolkata Board of Governors member Budha Chingtham attended the event as presidium members.

Disturbed by the news of people becoming victim to the pandemic, sounds of ambulance siren, the dancer tries to focus on her dance.

Filled with pain and anger, the dancer picks up pace while verbally challenging the Coronavirus to take her life if it can, only to get exhausted and fall on the ground with a faint voice cursing the virus and the pandemic.

Uttamkumar Naorem wrote the script, designed and directed the play, which depicts the thoughts of a dancer played by Salam Madhuri.
