Absorbingly told by [2008 staging's actor] Umar Ahmed, Eclipse suggests that ancestral memory is never as meaningful as the allegiances of everyday life.
—The Guardian UK  


A young Singaporean man is making a journey to his father's birthplace in Hyderabad, Pakistan. With him are his father's ashes. As he makes the arduous trip, he retraces the original journey made by millions of people—including his parents and grandparents—in 1947, during the partition of India and Pakistan.

Written by Haresh Sharma, Eclipse is a play that looks at three generations of men struggling with their dreams and their journeys, offering an intimate look at personal stories affected by historical events.

First presented as a short play to critical acclaim by Scotland’s 7:84 Theatre at Traverse Theatre, Eclipse was developed into a full-length production for the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2008.

Almost 80 years after the Partition, this staging with a fresh new direction by Associate Artist A Yagnya stars award-winning actor Shrey Bhargava. It also features Indian classical vocalist Sveta Kilpady.

(Playwright Haresh Sharma) has demonstrated a deftness and maturity in scriptwriting, a deeper inquiry into life and humanity, as well as an evident progress in terms of his creations.
