Pakistan Street Theatre Troupe Enchants Indians

via southasia.oneworld.net

Insan Foundation Pakistan (IFP) uses the powerful medium of street theatre to captivate audiences in Delhi with its simple message for peace in the region. The troupe had two plays in its repertoire for Indian audiences. The first play carries a powerful message of peace and is entitled Gall Nikki Jaee (meaning ‘A Small Matter’). It portrays simple village folk and is imbued with earthy humor, songs and folk dances. The brief snapshot of the partition is heart rending and the message of peace that follows it is effective in its sharp contrast.
