Crossing Over, a healthcare sector initiative, delves into discussions surrounding death, focusing on the conflicts and conversations during the end-of-life phase for the terminally ill. This project sheds light on the perspectives of various stakeholders, including medical staff, caregivers, patient counsellors, and family members. Through a series of small plays derived from the Bangalore Hospice Trust's published book (Karunashraya), it aims to bring awareness to essential yet often overlooked conversations. The interactive element, using Playback Theatre, engages the audience to process the intense emotions evoked by the plays.
