Performing `Sunehri Aashayen' in different labour camps of Dubai. Will be doing 6 to 9 shows of this production in two days' time.
Sunehri Aashayen' is a specially commissioned performance dealing, in an entertaining and sometimes light hearted way, with the many problems - psychological, economic, infrastructural and physical - that face the labourers from the Sub- continent on a daily basis. After research and consultations with several of the stakeholders concerned, and after viewing films made on the frightening conditions under which the labourers often live, the performance has been created to try to explore ways in which the workers themselves can help themselves. . Amongst others, the piece tries to touch upon barely spoken issues such as the absolute loneliness and feelings of isolation, alcoholism and the propensity to waste money rather than save.
