Sutradhar's SIYAAH HAASHIYE Play
First published in 1947 (the year that India was divided), Siyaah Haashiye is a collection of 32 cameos written by Sa’adat Hasan Manto, often referred to as ‘the original enfant terrible of Urdu literature’. A man who had little regard for the societal or literary norms of any time, Manto tried to capture the truth of humanity and its downfall as he saw it. Siyaah Haashiye are vignettes of the partition of India; written with the same dark blood that oozed from both sides on a land that was ripped to pieces and has never quite managed to pull itself together yet. More than 60 years have passed; 55 since Manto himself was laid to rest but the bloodstains of that massacre still haunt the generations on both sides of the divide: dates have changed; places have changed and so have names but the nature of man remains the same; the struggle against our own self continues. A medley of 32 short and very short stories based on the events that took place during partition. The stories illustrate the heinous and mercenary stupidity to which human beings can stoop to when they get a chance. The shortness of the stories creates the impression that we are entering a war zone. Presented partly in narrative and partly as a combination of narrative and performance, Siyaah Haashiye transports us to the morbid world of loot, killing and rape being committed in the name of religion.

Film screening Movies
Considered the last of the Calcutta city series, the movie revolves around the journey of a youngster who comes out of a broken education system that does not work for students and teachers alike. He finds himself floundering in the dehumanizing world of unemployment, competition where lakhs of others are struggling too. To what he resorts to, in order to do well in the profession, to avoid being a factory worker and the reality of the business of middlemen is poignantly portrayed in the film.

Anybody and everybody can speak their hearts out and trust the speaker every single statement of yours will be heard.
