An Announcement :

“Each block I consume is a prelude to the next; each piece of stone, each fragment of wood or marble, each pane of glass is but a morsel in time, and I have become the void that is the future. Devastation you see, occurs in its own peculiar silence.”

Our new game has just been released. The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place - is a story about a municipal building eater, consuming a tower at the edge of an unnamed town.

Adapted from the works of the Gujarati poet MirUmar Hassan, it is a rumination about the violence of erasure and the profound grief of having to survive on the margins of history, while places of entangled and inclusive record are being effaced.

Perforations turn walls into membranes. They tunnel through form and create soft yielding bodies that absorb. Perforations in memory make history bearable.

We have a new show opening at the Phoenix at Leicester today. It is a game about eating buildings, exploding jars and polluting histories, and it is called :

Langoors in the Labyrinth.

a Museum of Dubious Splendors, is a storybook from the world of Somewhere.

It is an adaptation of a series of essays written by Mir UmarHassan, a Gujarati poet whose works have proven notoriously difficult to translate because of the mellifluous use of Urdu and Hindi in his compositions.

We first encountered the writings of Mir UmarHassan in the archive room of the Sanghralaya at Matsyapur. Copies of his essays were bound together in ledgers and stored there, evidently unused and unread.

Of all his writings that we have assiduously collected over the past decade, it is his chronicle of Ruhan Nissa Parkes that fascinates us the most.

These stories entitled "in Dubious Splendor", were written (in Gujarati) in nineteen sixty two for the Malwa Chronicle,  but were mangled and edited without the author's permission prior to their publication in serialized form. The collection of stories, became momentarily infamous as the subject of the first court case to arbitrate authorial ownership in Independent India.

Announcing our next story from Somewhere. Here is an early look at :

Under A Porcelain Sun.
