LAHORE: On the fourth day of the Ajoka Dosti International Theatre Festival, the Amritsar-based theatre group Manch Rangmanch captivated audiences with Mitti Na Hovay Matrae. This Punjabi adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle — translated by poet Amitoj and directed by acclaimed Indian theatre artist Kewal Dhaliwal — explored themes of love, sacrifice, and resilience amid exploitation, resonating powerfully with attendees. Set against a backdrop of war and political turmoil, Mitti Na Hovay Matrae follows the story of a young girl who, during an uprising, rescues and raises an abandoned royal infant. Years later, she faces a legal battle when the royal family reclaims the child, highlighting the conflict between compassion and entitlement. Presented in the traditional Punjabi Naqaali style, the performance featured live music, narration, and expressive gestures. Traditional Punjabi songs enlivened Alhamra Hall 1, with the audience clapping and fully engaged. The day’s performances began with Pakistan’s national anthem, respectfully observed by the Indian artists—reflecting the festival’s spirit of cross-border friendship and unity. The audience included delegates from multiple countries, including Italy. Tomorrow, the festival will feature a performance by an Indonesian theatre group and a play titled !(Exclamation Mark) by Italian artist Paolo Avataneo. Supported by the Lahore Arts Council and the Punjab government, the Ajoka Dosti Theatre Festival celebrates art’s power to bridge divides. With theatre groups from 11 countries, the festival offers daily cultural performances at Alhamra Hall 1’s foyer, including folk music, puppet shows, and Bhund comedy. Running until Nov 17, this festival exemplifies how art connects cultures through a shared language.
