En route, they discover that some of the stories of Kahanis Ocean are becoming polluted.
The libretto stays very close to the spirit of the original, conjuring up a fantasy world in which, nonetheless, one never entirely loses sight of harsh political reality and the great issues of freedom of speech and imagination. Iff and Haroun then travel to Kahani atop Butt the Hoopoe. Salman Rushdie’s childrens book, written in the aftermath of the fatwa,as an effervescent style which is full of rhymes and wordplay. In a series of brilliantly imagined adventures, Haroun succeeds in defeating the powers of darkness, and restoring happiness to his family and to the city where he lives. He learns that the Ocean of the Sea of Stories, the source of all stories, is being polluted by the enemy of all stories, the sinister Khattam-Shud. As Rashid despairs, Haroun determines to rescue his father’s talent – a project which takes him into an exotic world of water genies, mechanical birds, fantastical creatures, Guppees and Chupwalas. He is told that if he does not come up with his usual fund of tales, his tongue will be cut out. After this, Rashid loses confidence in his powers of story-telling, haunted by his son’s question: “What’s the use of stories that aren’t even true?” Rashid is due to speak at a political rally to be held by the sinister politician, Snooty Buttoo. Feeling neglected, his wife is persuaded to leave him and run away with a neighbour.
Haroun’s father, Rashid, the Shah of Blah, is a professional and gifted story-teller, a popular figure much in demand at public events.
In a make-believe world, based loosely on Bombay and Kashmir, the story of Haroun is a tale of a fight between the free imagination and the powers that oppose it.
