Shiv is part of The Displaced Hindu Gods Trilogy, along with Brahman/i The Chronicles of Kalki. The trilogy is loosely based on the trinity of Hindu Deities - Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Sustainer), and Shiva (the Destroyer) - displaced into contemporary immigrants in the West. While the plays can stand alone, they coexist in a common universe where displacement, identity, post-colonialism and puberty are explored through the lenses of creation, survival and destruction.
