Concluding Perform Sharjah’s second season of performances, the play interweaves three contemporary tales of human hardship, tied together by a common thread: the vital importance of hope.
Hunkaro, meaning ‘verbal affirmation’ in Marathi, invites the audience to practise the precious gift of attention through active, participatory listening. The six actors use traditional singing and vocal techniques to narrate stories in different styles, languages and dialects. Speaking and singing in Marwadi, Hindi, Awadhi and Haryanvi, they employ unique vocalising techniques that emphasise the aesthetic value of language and the importance of the spoken word.
