Abstract
90 Seconds, that's all it takes to erase a whole city. In the blink of an eye, buildings crumble, and lives are shattered. Through the lens of three intertwined stories, we witness the resilience of the human spirit as survivors rebuild what was lost. Aanya, a 15-year-old motherless girl, sees her world collapse as the earthquake strikes during her school performance, and now makes the journey to find her father. A homeless man, overlooked by society, becomes an unexpected beacon of hope after the earthquake. He guides and comforts others, as only he has the keys of survival on the streets. A drifting couple from Southern India rediscover love and purpose, as they face the ruins together. In 90 Seconds the Musical, the threads of loss, hope and renewal weave together to tell a story of survival and healing in the wake of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.
