Event Description : THEATRE : Asmita Theatre Group & Harmless Hugs Present 'Ehsaas' & 'Lihaaf' Hindi Plays 

Ehsaas
Ehsaas narrates the journey of a young girl, who loves and feels for the same sex. The feeling to be loved and caressed by a woman is what she seeks,. But will this society accept her? Is she different from other women? Will she fight against the heteronormative world where women are expected to do household chores and one fine day marries a man and turn a homemaker? 

Asmita Theatre Group in collaboration with Harmless Hugs will unveil this challenging journey to you. But the question is will we self-introspect?

Lihaaf 
adaptation of Ismat Chugtai’s ‘The Quilt’

The story is told from the point of view of a small girl who is the niece of the protagonist, Begum Jan. Begum Jan has had a very depressing life after marriage. Her husband, the Nawab, was much older than her and was thought to be extremely respectable for never having had any encounters with prostitutes. But it is soon revealed that it is because his interests lie in the other gender. The lonely Begum starts to wither but is saved by Rabbo, her masseuse. Rabbo is a servant girl who is not so pretty but very deft with her hands. When the narrator is left at Begum Jan’s place by her mother, she realises that despite her past admiration of love for Begum Jan, there lie many secrets with her. At night, the great shadows formed by the quilt of Begum Jan and her odd behavior in the absence of Rabbo bring to light their hidden relationship, traumatising the narrator.
