CHALTE CHALTE WITH MEENA KUMARI Story :

Chalte Chalte With Meena Kumari: It is Pierrot’s Troupe’s new musical play- "Dance Drama" too: It showcases the "one and only" as well as the "one and lonely" Meena Kumari, re-visiting her life, her times, her works, her worth, and, of course, her LOVE AFFAIR … with URDU. This is substantiated further by the live singing, that too for the first time, of the Ghazals and Nazms she so eruditely penned.

No less is her highly glamorous and equally tragic life is represented in the form of several Kathak performances during the play. The play, thus, is a live and an aesthetic re-representation of; a ‘tragedy-queen, an intense shayera, and an intricate human being.

The play features some of the prominent performers, including Tarannum Ahmed, a famous Dubai-based Actress and Emcee, who plays Meena Kumari; Mehran Shah, an unparalleled singer and Astha Gupta, a young yet hugely talented Kathak dancer. The play has been conceptualised by Rehan Khan, a Canada-based scholar as well as activist.It has been written and directed by Dr M Sayeed Alam, reputed for his penchant for Humorous, Historical and Historic plays.

Last but not least, the play is produced by Bazm-e Urdu, Dubai, a renowned organization promoting the cause of Urdu through live performances worldwide, and Pierrot's Troupe - the theatre company credited with giving many new, original and entertaining productions to Hindi, Urdu and English Theatre in India and abroad.
