Kultar's Mime: Stories of 1984 - Penang Show

“Kultar's Mime” blends painting, poetry, theater and music to tell the stories of Sikh children who survived the Delhi Massacre in the wake of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. The play is adapted from the poem “Kultar's Mime” by Boston-area writer Sarbpreet Singh and incorporates text from “In The City Of Slaughter” by Haim Bialik. The play was presented at British Parliament and Scottish Parliament, and was featured at the 2015 Parliament of the World’s Religions in Salt Lake City. It has been presented at several universities and colleges including Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Carleton, Boston University, King’s College London, and several others. On the 30th anniversary of the 1984 massacre a performance was staged in Delhi, receiving terrific press in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore. The play was noted by The Times of India for “stirring the audience and garnering applause,” and was called “chilling” by the Utah Theatre Bloggers’ Association.
