Santoshpur Anuchintan’s Ghar, at Madhusudan

An original play in Hindustani and Punjabi. Dramatist-director Gaurav Das weaves a sophisticated narrative with three main strands. In the background we view the legendary Punjabi qissā of Mirza and Sahiban, the foreground occupied by two other star-crossed romances, one of a Muslim girl who liked dancing with her male Sikh musician friend, and the other of homosexual love between an upper-class youth and an artisan.
