Jab Jago Tab Savera: A Devised Play Inspired by Real-Life Events

Jab Jago Tab Savera is a devised piece inspired by real-life events. Exploring life's challenges with children, the creators noted a lack of humanity in modern times, where people are often too busy seeking daily comforts to notice what happens around them. The play draws inspiration from exceptional individuals who extend a helping hand despite their limitations, asking whether a story of humanity can awaken those who remain asleep even while awake.
