A pet dog of an argumentative couple. Its loyalty torn between the man and the woman, who cannot stand each other. How would the couple’s actions and behaviour shape the dog’s perspective?
This unique scenario forms the crux of Kutta Aurat Aadmi, the Hindi adaptation of German playwright Sibylle Berg’s acclaimed play Dog, Woman, Man. Mumbai’s Afsana Theatre will perform Kutta Aurat Aadmi at the 18th Qadir Ali Baig Theatre Festival in Hyderabad.
The five-day fest starts on October 5, and the focus is on literary adaptations this year. Plays based on celebrated works of Indian, European, Palestinian and Afghan novelists and poets will be staged. Urdu literary icon Ismat Chugtai will be remembered with Kagaz ke Gubbare, a play inspired by her classic stories and novels on themes such as feminism. Words Have Been Uttered, which has writings of Persian poet Omar Khayyam and Punjabi poet Lal Singh Dil, will celebrate dissent.
