SatRang Theatre presents Siachen, Aditya Rawal’s acclaimed Indian play about survival, sacrifice, and hope — making its Canadian debut Nov 15–16 in Brampton.

When words like “conflict” and “border” dominate the headlines, it’s easy to forget the human stories buried beneath. But Siachen, a powerful theatrical production by SatRang Theatre (South Asian Theatre Rangmanch) under Laalbutton, brings those stories vividly to life – set against one of the harshest battlefields on Earth.

Written by Aditya Rawal, translated by Raghav Dutt, and directed by Vivek Sharma, Siachen explores the endurance, fear, and fragile hope of soldiers stationed in the deadly heights of the Siachen Glacier. The play’s Canadian premiere marks a major milestone for South Asian theatre in Canada, making its international debut at Brampton’s Cyril Clark Theatre this November 15 and 16, 2025, at 4 PM.

Venue: Cyril Clark Theatre, Brampton

About the Play

A fictional tale about survival and hope, Siachen also raises poignant questions about the necessity—and the human cost—of conflict. Originally penned in English by Aditya Rawal, son of acclaimed actors Paresh Rawal and Swaroop Sampat, the play was translated into Hindi by Raghav Dutt and first staged in India under the direction of theatre icon Makrand Deshpande at Prithvi Theatre, Mumbai.

Now, for the first time outside India, Siachen finds new resonance through SatRang Theatre’s Canadian adaptation – an interpretation that maintains the story’s emotional integrity while reimagining its energy for an international audience.

“Siachen isn’t just a story about soldiers,” says Sabina Singh, Founder of SatRang Theatre. “It’s about what it means to be human in the most inhuman of conditions – how hope survives where logic shouldn’t.”
