1947 Aur Alzheimer's

History is heavy. Remembering it just got witty.

When history forgets, the chaos begins. Step into the brilliant, chaotic mind of 90-year-old Ghazanfar Hussain. Living with Alzheimer’s, his memories of the 1947 Partition are a hilarious and heartbreaking mix of absolute facts and unintentional fabrications.

Based on the real-life recollections of the playwright’s grandfather, this acclaimed solo play uses sharp satire, nostalgia, and wit to challenge the history books; and explore what happens when the mind begins to forget.
