An Adipat Virdi Presents Production

Step inside an honour crime where the truth of what really happened is yours to uncover and, ultimately, yours to decide.

I Am, Other: Devika’s Honour is an immersive experience that pulls you inside a family shattered by honour-based violence. You begin seated, watching a gripping drama in which a father and son are arrested for the murder of their daughter / sister. It is tense, intimate and immediate and it sets the emotional ground on which everything that follows will rest.

From there, the walls of the story open. You leave your seat and move through a series of fractured memory-spaces designed as moments frozen in time that you walk into, navigate and piece together for yourself. Each room offers fragments of the family’s inner world: evidence, traditions, pressures, love and secrets that cannot be understood from a distance. Nothing is explained to you. Instead, you discover through movement, observation and get to filter what you uncover through the lens of your own lived experience. The story changes depending on what you notice, what you believe and what you carry with you.

The final act places you at the heart of the dilemma: you become the jury, tasked with deciding whether the father and son are guilty of the crime that opened the piece. This isn’t symbolic. The verdict is real inside the ecology of the experience but the ethical weight of that responsibility sits with you, collectively, in the room. You must confront not just the evidence but the assumptions, cultural frameworks and emotional instincts that shape how you see the world.

Devika’s Honour is not passive theatre. It is a social impact encounter designed to reveal how we form judgement, how empathy works under pressure and how our own perspectives colour the truth we think we see. Moving across drama, installation and collective decision-making, you shift from witness to investigator to juror, carrying the power to define the meaning of what happened.

In a society where honour-based violence remains one of our most hidden harms, this experience doesn’t ask you to learn about the issue, it asks you to feel its complexity from the inside. What stays with you isn’t the story but the shift in how you see yourself, others and the systems we move through. The work follows you home.

Your perspective. Your lived experience. Your judgement.

They shape the story and decide the truth.
