How Much Space does a Firefly Take?

Film By: Shubham Negi, Udit Raj Somani, Shubham Dadhich & Sourav Yadav
Mentored By: Jabeen Merchant
City: Mumbai

‘How much space does one take’ is a question Kabir asks as he performs his solo play about his trans-ness and belonging in a city. Interwoven with phone calls from different trans people recounting their experiences of navigating urban public space, his play takes shape to become a testament of trans memories, struggle, and reclamation. The film questions the idea of identity driving one’s experiences with public space. Who are the cities made for? Who are they accessible to? Why do queer people need to be invisible while traversing through the city?
