Event Description : THEATRE : Team Raabta presents "Wo Afsaana" A Play Celebrating Poetry and Music

"Wo Afsaana" Play by Team Raabta - Stills

A theatrical presentation where dramatized narration, poetry and live singing blend together to bring an era gone by. The narrative weaves the unspoken love between two legendary poets. Sahir Ludhianvi’s songs infuse life and vibrancy that crave for his unsaid and unrequited love. Here is a show that celebrates literature and music.
 It is a tribute to two celebrated authors in the history of Indian literature, whose names when taken together, evoke passion, unconditional and unrequited love. The play is about the unsaid and unspoken bond between renowned Punjabi author Amrita Preetam and notable Urdu poet and lyricist, Sahir Ludhiyanvi. The musical and theatrical presentation weaves the pain and wishful love between the two poets through dramatized narration of their life snippets, poetry recitation and song renditions.

The play takes inspiration from the documented facts penned in books authored by Amrita Preetam and book the titled ‘ Main Sahir Hoon’ by Chandar Verma and Dr. Salman Abid. The play has been staged twice so far and has received overwhelming response by the audience. The play is a treat for poetry lovers and for people who still maintain a keen interest in literature amidst technology driven hustle bustle of cosmopolitan cities.

Director : Shamir 
The play is conceptualised and directed by Shamir. 

Cast : Jaishree Sethi, Shamir, Manaswi
The language adaptation and crisp compilation is beautifully put together by Ms. Sudesh Sethi and Jaishree.
