26th December 2015, Saturday - JIS LAHORE NAHI DEKHYA - 7pm, NCPA Experimental theatre, Nariman Point.
Dinesh Thakur's Ank presents JIS LAHORE NAHI DEKHYA. Asghar Wajahat's powerful human saga directed by Dinesh Thakur with lyrics by Nida Fazli and music by Kuldip Singh is the story of two communities, who have suffered first-hand the horrors of partition and still have the strength and humanity to rise above petty hatred.
JIS LAHORE... set in the bygone era of the Partition is very much a play of our times. While it recreates an era of nostalgic charm, after more than 275 shows, it has been able to successfully put across the important message of brotherhood which goes beyond the evil politician and fanatic to make a difference to the common man.
In the light of the spate of the recent terror attacks globally, it has become even more imperative to drive home the message of 'tolerance and mutual respect' to prevent the birth of future terrorists. We need to continually remind ourselves that Lines may divide countries, but they cannot divide human beings.
In the last 12 years, JIS LAHORE.... has become a play of national importance and has been counted among the 10 best plays of the last decade.
