A VANCOUVER GULDASTA - SACHA, DIWALI IN BC

19/10/2018

0 Comments

 
During the course of one hour A Vancouver Guldasta, written and directed by Paneet Singh, immerses you within a Punjabi home during the early 80s when the Sikh community in India is under attack.  The unrest in India stretches across the ocean and as an audience you experience the effects on family and communities and how it heightens the struggle with their own identities, their sense of home and freedom and how these struggles affect their actions.  You feel their helplessness, frustration and fear.  What makes this script extra special is how Singh weaves in the Vietnamese character and the impact it has on the entire story.  Although historical and educational this production is one of emotion that elicits empathy for those who build a home away from their origins in pursuit of freedom but don’t always necessarily feel free and appreciation for how insignificant many of our troubles are. ​

A Vancouver Guldasta is playing at the Cultch until 21 October 2018.

    ABOUT THEATRE ADDICTS

    Founded by Danielle Benzon, a self-professed theatre addict. 

    Live performance is essential to create human connection in our disconnected world. Theatre is not a dying art form. It is more relevant, more necessary, now than ever before.

    ​
    This is a place for audience members to share thoughts and opinions, to discuss with critical thought what they liked (and didn't) and why.

    At Theatre Addicts we own our subjective viewpoints and we welcome respectful conversation. This is not a place for professional critics, it is a platform for the diverse voices of the audience community to be heard. It is a place for ideas to be exchanged. It is a place to reflect upon different perspectives and opinions that lead to a deeper understanding of art, of others, and of ourselves.

    We believe that an empowered, engaged audience allows for a responsive arts community.
