On Sunday, February 12, I went to watch the play Kultar’s Mime. It is a beautiful, emotional play that tells the story of 4 sikh children that witnessed the 1984 attacks. These children had watched as their parents were killed mercilessly in front of their eyes and had been emotionally and physically scarred through this experience. The play is like none other that I have ever seen before. The complex vocabulary, the use of figurative language, the artwork, it was all amazing. On top of that, the acting was so astonishing, it drew you into the play. It didn’t matter if you understood what was being said, because the body language of the actors said it all. From every step to every smile, there was a meaning behind it all.
