About The Event
Kafan is a powerful stage adaptation of Munshi Premchand's timeless masterpiece that lays bare the harsh realities of poverty, social inequality, and the struggle for survival. Set in a rural village, the play follows Ghisu and Madhav, a father and son trapped in a cycle of hunger, hopelessness, and deprivation. When tragedy strikes with the death of Madhav's wife during childbirth, the two are entrusted with arranging her final rites. Their unexpected choices challenge conventional ideas of morality and expose the devastating impact of systemic poverty on human dignity.
Blending Premchand's poignant storytelling with evocative performances, live music, and compelling theatrical imagery, Kafan is an emotionally charged production that provokes reflection on compassion, privilege, and the human cost of social neglect. A timeless classic that remains as relevant today as ever.
