Ajoka to mark Madeeha Gauhar’s 2nd death anniversary

Ajoka Theatre will hold an online memorial to remember theatre icon and Ajoka founder Madeeha Gauhar on her second death anniversary on 25th April.  Due to lockdown and Corona threat, the meeting will be held on online Zoom platform. The meeting will be attended by Ajoka’s Executive Director and Madeeha’s husband  Shahid Nadeem, Ajoka Institute Director and Madeeha’s son Nirvaan Nadeem, Ajoka chairperson Zara Salman, General Secretary Sohail Warraich snd Ajoka’s key members. Tributes will be paid Madeeha and her contribution to Pakistani  theatre and peace acknowledged including sufi music. A short documentary on Madeeha’s life will also be launched on Ajoka’s  Youtube channel. The proceeding of the meeting will also be aired on Facebook and Instagram.

 We at Ajoka are shocked beyond belief and deeply grieved at the passing away of  Usha Ganguli, veteran Indian theatre director. We had just invited her to join us for an online reference for her soulmate Madeeha Gauhar. It is a  great loss for theatre and peace makers in South Asia.
Usha ji was a great friend of Ajoka and had worked with us on several projects including  hugely popular “anhi mai da sufna”, which she directed. 
Ajoka will remember her at a memorial  meeting on 25 April.
