The Mourning After
Tweny-two years since leaving Sri lanka and a lot has happened; civil war, the Boxing Day Tsunamis of 2004 and more. Nothing of the time of his childhood in Sri Lank remains.
A combination of the nostalgic memories versus the realities for forgotten people left behind in Sri Lanka inspired Ahi to write and perform his debut solo theatre piece The Mourning After, currently playing at Circa Theatre in Wellington. It’s the first New Zealand Sri Lankan play to hit the main-stage and has already garnered acclaim.
