Dastan-e-Jallian

Dastan-e-Jallian
Premiere of a Dastangoi performance on the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy of 1919 
Presented by Dastangoi Collective
 
To mark the centenary year of the massacre, this Dastangoi performance recounts the story of one of the most brutal acts of Colonialism in modern history. It draws from various writings across genres – protest poetry in Urdu and Punjabi; writings of Manto and Krishan Chander; speeches of Gandhi, Nehru, and Tagore; and official reports such as the Hunter Commission Report to tell a story that speaks not just of the past, but also of the present
 
Written by Ainie Farooqui
Performed by Ainie Farooqui and Nusrat Ansari
Directed by Mahmood Farooqui
