Kabuliwala

When a five year old girl befriends a lonely migrant worker, her family unravels; opening them up to face uncomfortable truths about themselves . . . and the world beyond their front gate. Indian Ink is currently seeking commissioning support for Kabuliwala, an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s short story of migration and our shared humanity.

Speak to your representative about commissioning opportunities for Kabuliwala.

Breaking it down with Indian Ink

“The heavier themes are explored with a deft touch, helped along by Rajan’s flawless transitions from character to character.” -Theaterscenes

For almost two decades Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis have pursued their idea of the ‘Serious Laugh’- opening mouths with laughter in order to slip something serious in along with a love of mask and story. The company blends western theatrical traditions with eastern flavours and has been critically acclaimed for its use of live music, heightened theatricality, humour, pathos and great storytelling.
