Prepare yourself for an unforgettable theatrical experience as the critically acclaimed Hindi play "Redevelopment" comes to Naperville for a special one-night performance. Featuring the powerhouse performer Lubna Salim and helmed by renowned director Salim Arif, this thought-provoking production promises to stir hearts, challenge perspectives, and captivate minds.
About the Play – REDEVELOPMENT
Set against the backdrop of urban transformation, Redevelopment delves into the layered and emotionally charged realities of a Mumbai chawl (old-style tenement housing) on the verge of being erased from existence. The play shines a spotlight on how modernization and profit-driven development impact human lives, memories, and cultural identity.
As the characters navigate bureaucracy, greed, and broken promises, the narrative masterfully explores themes of displacement, nostalgia, and the erosion of community bonds. The emotional tug-of-war between holding on and letting go is poignantly portrayed with humor, irony, and emotional depth.
Written with authenticity and laced with realism, Redevelopment is not just a story of buildings being torn down—it is a poetic reflection of how lives, dreams, and histories are often sacrificed in the name of progress.
Featuring LUBNA SALIM
Nationally celebrated for her versatility across theater, television, and film, Lubna Salim delivers a tour-de-force performance in Redevelopment. Known for her memorable roles in shows like Baa Bahoo Aur Baby and films like Gadar 2, she brings a commanding presence to the stage with her impeccable timing, emotional intensity, and nuanced character work.
Her portrayal in Redevelopment has been praised by audiences and critics alike for its honesty, vulnerability, and raw power—making this a must-see event for lovers of serious theatre and powerful storytelling.
Directed by SALIM ARIF
At the helm of Redevelopment is Salim Arif, a respected name in contemporary Indian theatre.
