Saikat, a second-generation Bangladeshi English boy, navigates school in Birmingham and trips to Bangladesh while caught between family expectations and competing cultural identities, trying to understand where he belongs.
In a solo performance, Saikat Ahamed traces his mother Hashi's life from childhood in the Sundarbans to Britain: born on the day India declared independence, she grows up amid the 1947 Partition and later settles in 1970s Glasgow. The production uses time-jumping storytelling, physical theatre, and song.
