A heartfelt reflection on memory, migration, and belonging, this moving solo performance by Vijay Ashok Sharma follows a father and son as they navigate change, distance, and the quiet bonds of love in 1990s India.
Set against the backdrop of a family migrating from rural Rajasthan to the city, Papa Painter unfolds as a heartfelt reflection on love, loss, and longing between a father and son. Written and performed by Vijay Ashok Sharma and directed by Ajeet Singh Palawat, this solo play moves between poignant drama and gentle humour, tracing how migration shapes identity and distances those bound by affection yet separated by silence.
Told through the lens of 1990s India of ration cards, PCO booths, and Doordarshan evenings, the story becomes a tender portrait of a father forged by sacrifice and a son shaped by modernity. Blending vivid storytelling with music and memory, this drama captures the quiet emotions that often go unspoken, offering audiences a stirring glimpse into where nostalgia meets self-discovery.
