TCF: Oops Its Kamila!
Just got this via e-mail, so will copy verbatim:
The Citizens Foundation presents: ìOops, itís Kamila!î
For the first time ever in Pakistan, audiences will experience a unique combination where excerpts from a novel, read by Kamila Shamsie, will be interpreted and translated by a team of individuals, Oopsinc; who have been trained under the aesthetics of pantomime and contemporary dance.
Venue: FTC Auditorum (Karachi)
Dates: Nov 17 ñ 19
Timing: 8 PM
Tickets: Rs. 1000 (available at Copper Kettle, KDA Hob Nob & Aghaís)
huma, do you know the timings?
no – but im sure the tickets have the prices mentioned on them? or you could call up tcf and ask.
I think you must have gotten the email fwded through me somehow.
Show dates are actually Nov 17-19
Show starts at 8PM SHARP!
Pls do try and come, it’ll be an exciting show!
why is the ticket so expensive?
karachi would be a better place if Kamila would read in urdu and everyone who lives here… everyone – people from the overflowing banks of the lyari river to sailors at port qasim – could listen to her.
it would be such an experience…
The tickets are expensive because half of the proceeds are going towards earthquake relief and rest towards running of TCF schools. TCF has already built over a 150 schools and they have made a committment to the kids to run these schools, hence the vital importance of holding fundraisers to continuously improve standards of the schools.
There is no point in Kamila reading in urdu because her books are in english. Since you feel so passionately about the people living at the lyari river why dont YOU organize an event for them????
In the charity business, its all about the tapping the reach and hitting their sweet spot to raise funds e.g. holding golf tournaments – you aim for a very selected crowd to try and generate the funds.
yesterday’s show was sold out. today’s show has already been sold out. i hope i get my ticket for tomorrow :(
There should be a translation of her books.
That would surely make them readable in urdu?
