The architecture of the law often has little patience for lived experience... 

In 2018, after a decades-long battle, the Supreme Court of India finally overturned Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code - a law that effectively criminalised the intimate lives of LGBTIQ+ people. 

Love and Reparation is a two-part epic that transcends time and theatrical form to pitch the legal against the poetic. Interweaving court transcripts with imagined affidavits and personal memoir, it examines the scars Section 377 left on LGBTIQ+ people in India – as well as the love that was born in its shadow.
