Dara – At the Royal National Theatre
Japjit Kaur is appointed Vocal Music Director for Dara, a play based in 1659 Mughal India. Dara is adapted by Tanya Ronder from Shahid Nadeem’s play originally performed by Ajoka Theatre, Pakistan. Directed by Nadia Fall.
1659. Mughal India. The imperial court, a place of opulence and excess; music, drugs, eunuchs and harems. Two brothers, whose mother’s death inspired the Taj Mahal, are heirs to this Muslim empire. Now they fight ferociously for succession.
Dara, the crown prince, has the love of the people – and of his emperor father – but younger brother Aurangzeb holds a different vision for India’s future. Islam inspires poetry in Dara, puritanical rigour in Aurangzeb. Can Jahanara, their beloved sister, assuage Aurangzeb’s resolve to seize the Peacock Throne and purge the empire?
There is no limit to what families do to one another, so much crueller than they are to strangers.
Tanya Ronder’s adaptation of Shahid Nadeem’s Dara spans the princes’ lives from cradle to grave. An intense domestic drama of global consequence – for India then and for our world now.
Pulse Magazine Feature
You Run On Tracks Not Roads! By Niraj Chag performed at London South Bank
YOU RUN ON TRACKS NOT ROADS – CONCEPT AND INFORMATION
You run on tracks… tells the story of Niraj Chag’s family, who travelled from India to Uganda to the UK as they sought work, and faced acceptance and resistance from the public and politicians along the way.
Niraj has created the piece using the words of well-known nationalist politicians. At times uncomfortable to hear, these powerful, beguiling words are set to music to ask questions about who defines our land, and who it truly belongs to.
