Jashn-e-Qalam: An Evening of Storytelling - KC Shankar

The complexity and richness of human relationships with people and ideas, explored through timeless stories in Hindustani.

8 March 2019

In Premchand's 'Bade Bhaisahab', two brothers are up in arms against each other and the education system. Kamleshwar's 'Story' looks at the self and the other through the eyes of a seasoned journalist. And finally, in Asad Mohammad Khan's 'Mai Dada', a Pathan named Abdul Majid Khan Yusufzai makes us question the idea of identity. With no sets or props, this was theatre at its simplest and purest, where the story is king and imagination reigned supreme.

Performed by KC Shankar
