A Gripping Tale of Truth, Belief, and Psychological Intrigue
Prepare

Fest 2025
proudly
brings one of India’s most celebrated plays — BARFF, written and directed by none other
than the legendary Saurabh Shukla — LIVE across the USA.
After
winning hearts and acclaim in India and international theatre circuits, BARFF is now set to
mesmerize audiences in America with its emotionally intense, visually
compelling, and intellectually engaging performance.
About
the Play – BARFF (The Snow)
Set
against the hauntingly beautiful yet emotionally turbulent landscape of Kashmir, BARFF (translated as Snow) is a psychological
thriller
that
delves deep into the themes of faith, reality, and the fine line between
truth and illusion.
The
plot
revolves
around a doctor called to a remote house during a snowstorm, only to be caught
in a night that reveals far more than he could have imagined. What begins as a
simple medical visit spirals into a night of emotional turmoil, suspense, and
soul-stirring revelations.
BARFF
is not
just a play—it's
a journey that explores human fragility, the desperate need for belief, and the
dangerous consequences of denial. With powerful dialogues, minimalist yet
evocative staging, and razor-sharp direction, it’s a story that resonates
deeply long after the curtains fall.
