Baabul

Baabul is the story of a daughter’s hero… A tribute to a father from his daughter. A daughter’s appreciation and gratitude to a father who raised his daughters as “a blessing”, this autobiographical performance revisits life events aiming to capture the beauty, love and struggles of a father raising his daughter in a patriarchal society; instilling the belief in her that she can be whatever she wants. Devised by performer and writer, Sameena Hussain, BAABUL draws on Sameena’s own sense of family and cultural heritage to explore ?rukhsati? ? the concept of father/daughter relationships in Pakistani culture.
