Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
The Goethe-Institut and Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) jointly organised an exceptional theatre performance specially designed for 2+ children’s and grown-ups title H2O presented by Helios Theatre of Germany.
Liakat Ali Lucky, Director General of BSA and Judith Mirschberger, Director of Goethe-Institut Bangladesh were present during the theatre performance which was delightfully relished by some 120 children at the Experimental Theatre Hall of BSA in the city’s Segunbagicha area recently.  
Judith Mirschberger, in her welcoming speech thanked BSA for its excellent support in hosting the show and conveyed her assumption that the children’s would enjoy the show based on water.
While talking to the audience at the end of the performance, DG of BSA Lucky highly appreciated the creative nature of the performance of Helios theatre and expressed his readiness to host similar events for children in future.
The performance of H2O is about water. We seem to know everything about this element, but when we take a closer look at it, it’s full of surprises and it’s still a mystery to scientists up to the present day. It is enormous power, sputtering life and sparkling joy.
May be it is as a melting ice-block, a shimmering fountain or as ascending damp, as a refreshing drink or a sweeping wave, as an element of sound or reflector of light, in this performance it always takes on new forms. It inspires performers and audience alike and generates a poetry that gives us an idea of the Wonder of Life. It starts with one single drop.
The Helios Theatre has been founded in 1989 and is remarkable as a Theatre for and especially with children. Since September 2004 two theatre pedagogues work together with the ensemble on different artistic concepts with and for laymen.
In addition to the performance, the artists conducted a workshop for local children theatre activists. n
