Kuch Un-khule hue se Panne (Some forgotten pages)

SYNOPSIS

This performance is a docu-drama, which looks at the lesser known heroes of the Indian struggle for independence like Madam Bikaji Cama, Surya Sen and Matangini Hazra. Each of these individuals made great sacrifices. Madam Bikaji Cama left a life of comfort and her husband to become a revolutionary, Surya Sen was hanged and Matangini Hazra at age 73 led a non violent protest during the Civil dieobedience movement and was shot for it. With photo documentation from the archives of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library it takes the audience on an audio-visual journey with shadow, puppets, projections and actors.
