United Kingdom,15 Nov 2014 : Sikh Federation (UK) have arranged for a play (Kultar’s Mime) that recreates the November 1984 Sikh Genocide to be staged at Wolves Civic Hall on Sunday 30 November during the 30th anniversary event between 12 noon and 4pm. A team of seven, including five professional actors, is being flown over from the United States at significant cost.
The play, which has been stirring the audience and garnering applause too, synthesizes the sufferings of innocent victims of the organized anti-Sikh violence of 1984. Directed by Boston-based father-daughter duo of Sarbpreet Singh and J Mehr Kaur, the play juxtaposes the 1984 killings against an anti-Jewish pogrom in the city of Kishinev, the capital of Russian province of Bessarabia, in 1903… Both separated by thousands of miles, numerous years and insurmountable differences of religion, language and culture, yet similar stories of human suffering and courage.
The play — which tells the tale of four Sikh children who were victims of violence –draws on two poems, “Kultar’s Mime” written by Sarbpreet Singh in 1984 and “In The City of Slaughter” written by Hebrew poet Haim Nahman Bialik on the Kishinev pogrom.
