‘’A Journey of Despair’’ – Sri Lanka
Directed by Upeksha Lankathilaka

A Journey of Despair is a powerful mono drama that explores the inner world of a young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, rejection, and isolation. Without spoken dialogue, the story is told through expressive movement, lighting, projections, and sound drawing the audience into her emotional and psychological journey. The performance uses multimedia elements such as projections, and sound to reflect her shifting emotions. The visual language is abstract yet deeply human, revealing the inner conflict and sorrow of a girl forced to make an impossible choice in a judgmental world.

A Journey of Despair is more than a personal story.it is a reflection on societal silence, stigma, and survival. This production aims to spark empathy, dialogue, and awareness through bold, emotionally charged performance.
