Sukhan is a theatrical production that presents Urdu literature and Hindustani classical music.[1] Conceived and directed by National-Award winning Marathi actor Om Bhutkar, the show was first performed on 13 October 2015 to commemorate the 67th birth anniversary of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Since its inception, Sukhan has been performed over 125 concerts.[2]
Form
[edit]Sukhan is a mehfil (gathering) where performers recite Urdu poetry and render Hindustani classical music pieces, as well as Ghazals & Qawwalis.[3] It combines the Urdu literature with musical renditions. The show also pays homage to legendary artists and poets of the Indian subcontinent, such as Mirza Ghalib, Jaun Eliya, Mir Taqi Mir and many more.
Though it is an Urdu show, interestingly, the performers of Sukhan are originally based in Pune, Maharashtra. Pune has primarily Marathi-speaking residents, and all the artists in Sukhan share Marathi as their mother tongue.[4]
Performances and Recognition
[edit]Initially, the show was performed mainly in Pune, gaining local popularity. Over time, its success led to performances in Mumbai and other cities near Pune, expanding its reach beyond its original audience.
In February 2017, Sukhan was invited to perform at Jashn-e-Rekhta,[5] one of India's most prestigious events dedicated to Urdu literature. This performance was a significant milestone, highlighting the show's cultural impact and growing recognition. They were again invited to perform in the same festival in December 2017. They will be performing at Jashn-e-Rekhta in December 2024 after 7 years since they last performed here.[6]
In January 2018, Sukhan was performed in Pune International Film Festival as a part of the PIFF Forum.[7] Later in 2018, Sukhan was invited to perform at the Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Natya Sammelan[8] organised by Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Natya Parishad, held in Mulund, Mumbai. This invitation to a prominent Marathi theater festival showcased the show's ability to bridge linguistic and cultural boundaries.
Since its debut, it has been performed in various cities in India as well as in USA,[9] Canada and UAE. and has attracted audiences from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The show has been featured at prestigious festivals: twice at Jashn-e-Rekhta, Delhi[10][11] & Vishwarang, Bhopal.[12][13] It was also performed at prestigious 'The Grand Theatre' in NMACC, Mumbai.[14]
Impact on Pune's art scene
[edit]Despite Marathi being the predominant language in Pune, Sukhan has significantly influenced the city's artistic community and audience.[15]It has sparked a revival of interest in Urdu poetry, evident in various cultural expressions.
Jashn-e-Sukhan
[edit]In 2017, the organizers of Sukhan launched Jashn-e-Sukhan, a festival celebrating poetry and music.[16] Unlike Sukhan, which primarily focuses on Urdu literature and Hindustani classical music, Jashn-e-Sukhan embraces diversity in languages and genres. It serves as a platform for emerging poets and musicians, encouraging artistic exploration and growth.
