When the Sun Melts Away

Inspired by the poems of 14th century Kashmiri poet Lal Ded, When the Sun Melts Away is a devised piece that interrogates the process of finding, and sometimes losing, yourself in a world that feels just as nonsensical as our own. Generations later, Lal Ded’s words perfectly encapsulate the loneliness, futility, courage and determination that young Asian/Asian-Americans encounter in the constant struggle to define themselves.
