ISLAMABAD, July 6: Students of the National College of Arts (NCA) stunned the audience on Friday evening with their hilarious performance in ‘Ali Baba’, an improvised version of popular Arabic story, incorporating mime, nautankye and dance.

The play was performed by NCA theatre society and student body, accompanied by the first ever performance in Pakistan by Rani Taj, UK-born Pakistani-Kashmiri dholi and Jismani Remand, a local band formed by senior NCA students.

Music followed soon after as ‘Jismani Remand’ took the stage with original instrumental performances and popular cover songs.
