Dhalkeko Saalaijo

About the Project

Dhalkeko Saalaijo is a poignant theatrical production that uses the metaphor of a fallen matchstick to explore themes of hope, resilience, and rebirth. This innovative performance piece combines physical theatre, spoken word, and visual storytelling to create a multi-sensory experience that transcends language barriers. The production examines how moments of apparent defeat can spark new beginnings, and how even the smallest flame can illuminate the darkest corners of human experience. With its universal themes and accessible storytelling approach, the play has resonated with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, making it one of the most inclusive productions in Nepal's contemporary theatre scene.
