A highway needs to be built but in its path, a 150-year-old tree stands. The road can take an alternative route but on that path, there is another tree - 50-year-old tree planted by the former Prime minister. The Society of Flora and Roots (SoFaR), a volunteer-based organisation, debate before signing a petition on which tree should be uprooted. When all else fails, they conduct a public forum to decide which is more important, the preservation of our natural past, or the re-imagined history that someone planted.Playwright/Director:Irfan Kasban is a freelance theatre maker who writes, directs, designs, and at times, performs. The former Associate Artistic Director of Teater Ekamatra, who attended the prestigious La MaMa Umbria International Symposium for Directors 2012, was responsible for mentoring MEREKA, an incubation programme for young theatre enthusiasts.
