Another event by Nust Community Services Club was about an immensely important issue, but which is surrounded by social stigma in our society- breast cancer. ‘Lost in Bloom’ was a live play on breast cancer awareness, which is the second most common cancer worldwide. The idea behind this unique awareness campaign was amazing, and it was executed beautifully. Pink was the colour for the day, pink ribbons were distributed among the people, symbolizing breast cancer awareness. It was a mesmerizing performance, which walked the viewer through all the stages of cancer, it was easily an incredible sight to behold, and it is safe to say that throughout the play one was Lost in Bloom.
