On 2 February 2025, Chaand Nagar Theatre proudly presented its original play Crimson on Cotton at the Women of the World (WOW) Festival in Lahore, in collaboration with UNFPA and WOW Pakistan. Written by Imran Iftikhar and Rabia Pasha, and performed by Imran Iftikhar, Rabia Pasha, and Amna Mawaz, the play stood as a symbolic and stirring representation of the ongoing tussle between women and patriarchy in our society.

Crimson on Cotton used the power of performance to highlight the struggles and resilience of women, inviting audiences to reflect on questions of power, silence, and resistance.
