Ashima Theatre Group’s second performance on stage was DAS TREFFEN, named after the German word for 'The Meeting'.  Inspired by the ‘Trip’, this thriller revolved around the weird and unpredictable circumstances faced by three hitman who gather in a dilapidated  house to plot the killing of the target. But as luck would have it, there turns out to be something else in store for them in that house. As the events unfold, their friendship is set to a difficult test from which they hardly recover.

The play ends in mysterious circumstances leaving the conclusion and the interpretation to the audience.
