Counter Offence

  • Teesri Duniya Theatre - March 2020 (postponed due to Covid-19)

  • What happens when crimes against women turn into crimes against race? Counter Offence examines how the collision between the struggle to end violence and the fight to end racism forces us to question our own prejudices and motivations.
