Paati, the 79 year old matriarch of the family, spends her days waiting to die. The only bright spot left in her life is a one-woman show she puts on every night to an increasingly aging American theatre audience. But when her granddaughter, son, and daughter-in-law are corrupted by demons and threaten to destroy her play, Paati has to team up with an unlikely ally: her aimless and existentially tortured American grandson, Giri. Will Giri and Paati defeat the demons that have taken over the family and keep the play running? Or will the show just… end? A hypertheatrical action adventure about tradition, expectation, and learning to speak in your mother tongue.
