Monsoon Festival of Performing Arts Presents, Kehar Singh Di Maut (The Death of Kehar Singh)

Bell Performing Arts Centre,21 Aug '16 @ 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
  • Monsoon Festival of Performing Arts Presents, Kehar Singh Di Maut (The Death of Kehar Singh)
*Performed in Punjabi*
 
This play is based on a Punjabi folk tale of a young man, Kehar Singh, whose death is orchestrated by his greedy mother-in-law and her two sons. The drama is complemented by comedic characters and humorous dialogue, however the beauty of this play lies in the depiction of the simple-minded Kehar Singh and his wife Ram Kaur, who truly love each other. Although not overly intelligent or worldly in the conventional sense, Kehar Singh wins us over with his pure heart and his declaration that wealth and riches are nothing in the face of true love.
 
Prominent playwright Ajmer Singh Aulakh is known as a rural dramatist as most of his plays display a real and root level picture of rural life in Punjab. His plays portray a heart touching pain of a low-level farmer who has less land than what he hopes to have. This section of rural Punjab is being defeated by the new economic system of capitalism.
