Kanpur: 1857 is a comedic and satirical reckoning with colonial history, in which an Indian rebel, strapped to a cannon, answers to a British officer for the crimes of the 1857 uprising against British colonial forces. Written by and starring Niall Moorjani, and co-directed by and starring Jonathan Oldfield, the play satirises contemporary conflicts around gender, colonial violence, and making art in times of crisis. The production features a live soundtrack from Scottish-Indian tabla player Sodhi. It is an Edinburgh Fringe First winner and recipient of the Asian Arts Award for Outstanding Production.
