Nirbhaya play opens in London

“With an extraordinary cast and creative team from India, Farber brings us a blistering evocation of that terrible night and the ripples of change it set in motion. Tearing away the shame that keeps the survivors silent ‘Nirbhaya' is a voyage into a tapestry of personal testimonies that speaks for both a nation and a world no longer able to hold the tides of change at bay,” the Southbank Centre said in a statement.  

The work follows five women as they share their stories of sexual violence, emboldened to break their silence after the attack on Nirbhaya - the name given to the Delhi student who eventually succumbed to her horrific injuries in a Singapore hospital.

Canada-based Farber had travelled to India to create the production and conduct workshops and is looking forward to taking the play back home.
