Synopsis
'The Cage of Sparrows' tells the story of Rulda and Rinku, two men separated by a generation, but joined by one need: the need to escape. Set in village Garhi Mahasingh in Punjab’s vast countryside, it is a tale of longing for freedom as much as getting trapped in its quest, of moving on as much as the need for never forgetting, of borders, smugglers, immigration agents and passports, of scars left by history, of a homeland lost to conflict and men reduced to numbers, of running from the past, of running away from a destiny, of running till one's legs give way. Winner, Toto Funds the Arts (TFA) Creative Writing Award 2012. Winner, Shyamanand Jalan National Youth Theatre Award (SJNYTA) 2012 for the best original new play.
