The Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) in collaboration with the Ajoka Theatre would organise a three-day ‘Theatre Extravaganza’ from June 25-27 to mesmerise the art enthusiasts.
The event will be held at PNCA to foster healthy theatrical activities for the people belonging to the federal capital and surroundings who can enjoy the vibrant performances, thought-provoking ideas and touching messages.
As per the schedule announced by the PNCA, Ajoka’s acclaimed production ‘Teesri Dastak – The wretched of the earth fight back,’ penned by Executive Director Shahid Nadeem, will be performed on June 25 to kick off the festival.
The play is set in a dilapidated urban slum and portrays the resilience of the marginalised who cling to their dreams of a free and just world despite endless betrayals and setbacks.
On June 26, another play Bulha-Story of Bulleh Shah’s dramatic spiritual journey will be presented to the audience while Nadeem’s International Masterpiece ‘Dara’ will be presented on June 27.
