On a cold festive night, under the glow of a lonely streetlamp, a young migrant boy wraps himself in a torn blanket and begins to write a letter—to a mother who will never read it. Dead Letter is a soul-stirring bilingual solo performance that blends Bengali and English, memory and monologue, soundscape and silence.
Set against the backdrop of a bustling chicken shop and the aching stillness of night, this poetic piece journeys through the raw terrain of urban migration, grief, and invisible survival. DEAD LETTER weaves together minimalist staging and lyrical storytelling to illuminate the weight of love, loss, and everything that remains unsaid.
Tender, haunting, and deeply human, DEAD LETTER invites you to pause—and listen—to a voice we often walk past.
