Melbourne Talam

I have completely lost my talam. All I hear is the ring of mobile phones, the noise of escalators, platform announcements and the trains squealing on the tracks. Wheres the koyal, wheres the ring of temple bells, wheres Carnatic music, wheres my mothers voice? Three young people see each other across a crowded Flagstaff station. They just missed the train. Now they wait. And think. They think about home: Punjab, Delhi, Hyderabad. And about how they just cant seem to get Melbournes rhythm right. And of all the impossible things they must do to stay. And their time is running out. Developed through MTC CONNECT and the NEON and Cybec Electric play development programs, this vibrant play puts Melbournes contemporary social issues at centre stage.
