The Tibetan struggle for freedom is the only example of non-violent struggle in this world and if that is also lost some day, there will be no more examples of non-violence in this world, says Tibetan director Lhakpa Tsering. It is this message of non-violence that Pah-Lak (Tibetan for ‘Father’) aims to convey. Originally an English play developed by Indian theatre director and playwright Abhishek Majumdar through extensive research in Tibet, Pah-Lak was later realised as a Tibetan production by Lhakpa Tsering (who translated it to Tibetan) and German theatre director Harry Fuhrmann. And now, after its premiere at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts in October 2022, Pah-Lak is being hosted at the NCPA as part of its second tour across various urban cities and Tibetan settlements in India.
