Eidgah Ke Jinnat

Bhasha Centre's premier production commissioned by Jawahar Kala Kendra is Eidgah Ke Jinnat written and directed by Abhishek Majumdar. Sound Design and Compositions by Nikhil Nagaraj.

Ashrafi and Bilal are orphaned siblings stranded and defined by the troubles in Kashmir. 18 year old Bilal is the pride of the region, part of a teenage football team set for great heights, and pushed to the limits by the violence around them. Haunted by hope, his sister is caught in the past, and Bilal is torn between escaping the myths of war and the cycles of resistance.
Interweaving true stories and testimonies with Islamic storytelling, the play paints a magical portrait of a generation of radicalised kids, and a beautiful landscape lost to conflict.

Max 7 was used process sounds in the compositions and build the playback spatialisation system for the performances.
