Saying it in black

In a captivating blend of love, devotion, and harsh realities, the theatrical production The Actor’s Truth - Kaali Shalwar, directed by Arjun Singh will be staged at Veda Kunba this weekend.

This 70-minute long performance by an ensemble of 16, is a tale of Sultana’s journey into finding, embracing and soon losing love with a painful realisation that she is a prostitute who cannot dream of being loved by a man.
