Event Description : Wings Cultural Society presents "Sara ka Saara Aasmaan" Urdu play.
"Sara Shagufta , known as the Sylvia Plath of the subcontinent, is a feminist poet whose life was like a dark painting depicting shades of women’s lives across times and boundaries. After a hard and poverty stricken childhood, her first marriage was at the mere age of 14 – but she could never really find marital happiness. The familial strength that the patriarchal society screams of had always worked to weaken her. Children, also, offered no respite. Sara took to writing after the death of her child, and through her inexhaustible ache, gave us hard hitting poetry that defies social norms and cultural barriers of her times (and even ours). She did this in her own capacity at a time and place where knowledge (‘ilm’) was strictly a male domain. We all know, in our own understandings, what happens to women who dare. Sara’s brevity and rationality in a coward and irrational system frequently dragged her to mental asylums. In ‘Sara ka Sara Aasmaan’, the less spoken about fractions of Sara’s life are highlighted through phases of passive submission, acceptance, grief, retaliation, humility and well, peace. Sara Shagufta in her 30 years of existence (1954-1984) understood a world that failed to understand her, a world that continues to fail to understand her. "
