The audience is invited to read letters: letters from 'me' to 'you'. The letters touch on themes such as care, guilt, limitations, motherhood, nationalism, decolonization, and dubious historiography - seen through the eyes of a colored dancing girl - the naachnewali - me.
We, me&you, share 75 minutes to jointly orchestrate this experience: by reading aloud, walking around, listening to other voices, or simply by immersing ourselves in all the impressions gained during previous encounters with me.
