A Sufi fable based on Ernest Hemmingway's novella The Old Man and the Sea and poems by Jalaluddin Rumi

Conceived, adapted and directed by Shivani Tibrewala
Performed by Tom Alter
Dance rendition by Zia Nath

The old fisherman in Hemmingway's fable sees the fish as his brother rather than as his enemy or his prey. In their quest for life, the fisherman and the fish are united - silent witnesses to each other's quiet struggle
