Sakal Jaani He Naath

Sakal Jaani He Naath - “The One Who Knows It All”

A man who knows it all, or so it seems.

But this is not the Sudama you know.

Inspired by Vasant Deo’s Sudama ke Chawal and woven with the soul-stirring Dohas of Narrotam Das’s Sudama Charit, this performance revives the ancient tale in the hauntingly beautiful rhythms of Swang Shaili, where song and story merge into one.

Sakal Jaani He Naath is an amalgamation of old narratives and new questions, familiar laughter and unsettling truths. A solo performance, accompanied by a singer, it unfolds where expectations unravel and the stage becomes a mirror.

What does friendship mean when one thrives while the other survives? When the gap between two lives stretches wider than the heart can hold? What is the place of a woman in the house, and is empowerment only found in asking? Must we still speak of men first to tell the tale of the woman behind the threshold?

Come for the story. Stay for the silence between the words.
