Join us at Lamakaan for the Hindi drama Ismat Ek Aurat, celebrating the legacy of Ismat Chughtai, a pioneering feminist writer in India. Known for her fearless and perceptive storytelling, Chughtai highlighted the struggles and strengths of rural Indian women and critiqued the stagnation of the urban elite. The play features dramatized performances of two of her short stories: Saas (Mother-in-law), which redefines the traditional saas-bahu relationship, and Chidi Ki Dukki (The Second Card of Clubs), showcasing wit as a woman's greatest asset. The 60-minute performance opens with a letter by Sa'adat Hasan Manto, offering insight into Chughtai's remarkable character. Please contact 96520-03161 for further details.
