The City of Toronto proudly presents SAWITRI THEATER GROUP’s Theatrical Poetry :

🎭Jene LAHORE joyu nathi e janmyo j nathi🎭
A full length Gujarat Play (with English sur -titling).

Set in the aftermath of the 1947 Partition of India, the play centers on the emotional, social, and cultural trauma faced by people who were uprooted from their homes and identities. It uses a single house in Lahore as a symbolic battleground between two displaced souls — one who once owned it, and one who now resides in it.

PARTITION CANNOT BE JUST A POLITICAL EVENT — IT IS ALWAYS A HUMAN CATASTROPHE. The play reveals the deep scars left by the arbitrary division of land, families, and identities.

HOME IS NOT JUST A PHYSICAL SPACE — ITS MEMORY,BELONGING AND SOUL.
The play questions: Can a home ever truly belong to someone else if your roots still lie there?

HUMANITY TRANSCENDS RELIGION, BORDERS AND POLITICS.
The old woman and the Hindu family, once adversaries, eventually find a sense of connection and empathy.

SHARED HISTORY MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
Lahore becomes a metaphor — not just a city, but a symbol of lost harmony, of a time when people of different faiths lived together.
