Based on a 1981 poem by the well known world poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Lori is a devastating depiction of a person who witnesses a series of air strikes in a refugee camp during war. Amidst the carnage and destruction, are the mutilated corpses of an entire family – a mother, father, a young boy and his elder sister. As she grieves, she hears the muffled cry of a child coming from underneath a pile of bodies. As she pulls the child out, she embraces the child and sings him a lullaby, trying to distract the little one from the horrific scene in front of them. write a brief in one sentence Concept and choreography - Aranyani Poetry - Faiz Ahmed Faiz Recitation - Shabana Azmi Music - Fragment of Light (Ganesh K and Leslie Charles)
