O Seeker

While she waits to fall asleep every night, a young girl confronts her fears and anxieties about human existence, the news media and the cosmos. Fear returns to her like an efficient postman carrying dizzying and worrisome letters in which she encounters the same characters each time: a troubled scientist, a two-headed snake, a dancer with four hands and an unsuccessful magician who appears and disappears mysteriously. Amidst it all, a circus unfolds with its many performers leaping, twirling and spinning in shiny costumes. One question looms over it all: “Where are we? Here – where we walk with our feet on the ground? Or there – where everything flows boundlessly?”
Set as the world slowly heals from a pandemic, O Seeker considers the relationship between science, politics, spirituality and superstition in India as it weaves a puzzle of unresolved questions through conversations about grief, loss and absurd events, real and imagined.
