People change. Relationships evolve. The affections that you have for others might shift either way with the sands of time. Take Christopher and Christine, two cousins who are the central characters in a new play called Iktsuarpok — the title that sounds as meaningless as human existence can sometimes feel. They travel from Mumbai to Goa on Christmas to spend time with Esther, their aunt, who they have despised since childhood as much as Harry Potter despised the Dursleys, the muggle family he lived with before escaping to Hogwarts. Esther didn’t have any love lost for the siblings either. But when they meet after all these years, they realise that their relationship has mellowed. The relatives let bygones be bygones, and make a fresh new start.

The set has a Christmassy backdrop
