6:30 pm - AJNABI : In this adaptation of Albert Camus The Stranger, Arun suffers alienation from himself and the world. When he attends the funeral of his mother, he finds that he does not feel much grief; neither is he concerned about observing the social formalities of mourning. The day after his mothers funeral, Arun becomes involved in an affair with a girl. He is not worried about a murder case against him also. The judge announces him to be guilty of murder and sentence him to death but Arun can hardly believe the verdict, for he has never thought of himself as a criminal. Will he now approach his death like he has approached his life - with indifference? Will his existence after death be less absurd; will he be more closely aligned with the universe?

7:30 pm - 'Toba Tek Singh' Hindi Play.
The story is set two or three years after the 1947 Partition, when the governments of India and Pakistan decided to exchange their Muslim, Sikh and Hindu , and revolves around Bishan Singh, a Sikh inmate of an asylum in Lahore, who is from the town of Toba Tek Singh. As part of the exchange of Bishan Singh is sent under police escort to India, but upon being told that his hometown Toba Tek Singh is in Pakistan, he refuses to go. The story ends with Bishan lying down between barbed wire: "There, behind barbed wire, was Hindustan. Here, behind the same kind of barbed wire, was Pakistan. In between, on that piece of ground that had no name, lay Toba Tek Singh.”
Hindi Adaptation : Vidhya Shankar
