Daily Hiccups

‘Daily Hiccups’, is a series of five short conversations between two characters; Asbah and Shreya, who identify as women (she/her) and work as theatre entrepreneurs, trying to run their own company. The story is about how their concerns which may be gender fluid in and of themselves, yet when addressed in interpersonal communication carry gendered performances, labels and identities, placed on us by society at large. We see how freedom plays out for these women and what is at stake for them to pursue their choice of profession.
