Overview
Me and my friend have started a theatre company by the name of The Playhouse. The Other Side is going to be our very first production.This is the first time an Original play of such genre "Fantasy/Thriller" is being staged. In order to turn it into a reality, We really need help with funds. Since the production of the play is huge, each dollar counts. It's not just a part of revival of theatre but revival of independent theatre makers in Pakistan. We are really looking forward to your help!

Who are we?

THE PLAYHOUSE:

• The objective of the company is to bring theatre makers and enthusiasts from all walks of life together and introduce them to the world of performance in the most unconventional manner. 

• Comprised of a group of dedicated artists and designers, and with over 20 performances, the team is ready to take on newer challenges that the stage has to offer. 

• For our future productions we aim to take the playhouse to various parts of Pakistan and introduce immersive theater. 

What are we trying to do?

The Other Side is an original English/Urdu theatre play that is being written and directed by Ibrahim Rana, which explores themes of humanity and sacrifice through a fantastical lens. It will be performed at the AL HAMRA ARTS COUNCIL, HALL 1 from the 29th to the 31st of August.

THE PLAY:

Sulaiman gets himself in a situation where he encounters a system run by a family of hybrids and lost souls. Moregon the Owl is in charge of everything up above but down below she serves the Dark Lord, Azazel. Sulaiman being the only human in that house will soon be turned into their next meal. His only hope is the young Vixen, who has an ultimate desire to escape as well and return to her human form. Realizing that they are each other’s only hope for escape, they begin to find a way out. But every step they take has its consequences. 

How is this play different?

The recent decade has brought about a movement for the revival of performing arts in Pakistan. Our team of young artists have come together under the artists collective THE COLONY LAHORE to try and recruit the truly passionate in moving towards a new landscape.

THE TEAM: 

  • A majority of our team is comprised of students and graduates of The National College of Arts Lahore, the oldest arts institution in Pakistan.
  • The rest of our team is made up of a diverse group of performers from all over Pakistan.
  • All of our performers and crew are VOLUNTEERS, coming together purely driven by the passion they possess.
  • THE COLONY LAHORE is a collective of artists, ranging from independent visual and performing artists to film collectives like 8th Story Productions and dance companies like Sway Dance Company, all coming together with the goal of collaboration to further the role of arts in Pakistani culture.
