Sutradhar present Ismat-Ek Aurat 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.

Sutradhar presents Ismat-Ek Aurat Play
Ismat Chughtai, was a veritable tour de force
of women's writing in India, a woman who was a feminist by instinct long
before it became fashionable to flash the badge of feminism.
She brought to the fore the modernity inherent in
the actions of the poorest of rural Indian women as well as the stagnation in
the minds of the so called urban elite.
Ruthlessly honest and deeply perceptive, she
presented the truth of society and its women in the same nakedness in which she
saw them. She wrote with a rare courage, truth and good humour which endear her
to everyone who comes across her writings.
The first story, Saas (Mother-in-law), is about a
unique saas-bahu pair and adds a new dimension to this perceived notorious
relationship.
The second is Chidi Ki Dukki (The Second Card of
Clubs) which speaks volumes about how wit and attitude in a woman can be more
attractive than the supposed good looks.
