PORT LOUIS (Mauritius), Oct 7: Balwant Thakur’s highly acclaimed play ‘Aap Hamaare Hain Kaun’ is being presented in four languages-French, Creole, English and Hindi in Mauritius.
Under a unique initiative of Ministry of Arts and Cultural Heritage, Government of Mauritius this popular play of Balwant Thakur has been chosen to be presented in four languages with the motive to take the play to the entire population of this multi-lingual country.
The first presentation of this play is being inaugurated by Minister of Arts and Cultural Heritage, Government of Mauritius at Indira Gandhi Centre for Indian Culture next Sunday.
Play ‘Aap Hamaare Hain Kaun’ was found more contemporary and appropriate for Mauritius and on a special request it has been translated into French, Creole and English.
‘Aap Hamare Hain Kaun’ shakes parents, educationists/ guardians of society out of reverie of materialism, consumerism and unbridled desires.
This play compels elders to look around and clear the mess they have created due to their own amorous ambitions and rat race.
Parents see in their children as an extension of their unfulfilled dreams and force them to become stereotypes and kill the bountiful charm in them.
The play deals with contemporary problems that younger generation is up against from their own loved ones and surroundings.
