To pay tribute on the birth anniversary of the troupe’s founder president Syed Badruddin Hossain, Padatik Natya Sangsad (TSC) organised a five-day theatre festival, which is being held from April 7 at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) in the capital’s Segunbagicha area. The festival will end on April 11.
With the slogan Mukto Koro Manobota, as many as 10 plays — Kuhokjaal, Jonomanko, Bhongo Bongo, The Trial of Mallam Ilia, Nakshi Kanthar Math, Macbeth, Namgotrohin Manto’r Meyera, and Urna Jaal – are being staged by seven local and Indian prominent theatre troupes during the festival.
Beside two Kolkata based theatre troupes, Rongokormi and Anik, the local participating troupes are — Padatik Natya Sangsad, Theatre, Nagorik Natya Sampradaya, BotTola and Arannyak. Rongkormi will stage their acclaimed plays – Rojana and Antorjatra, while Anik Theatre will bring their Ekusher Golpo and Chi-kitsa staged in the festival.
The plays are being staged simultaneously at two prominent venues of BSA, National Theatre Main Hall and Experimental Theatre Hall.
Apart from staging the plays, the organisers will honour two veteran theatre personalities for their contributions to the theatre at the concluding ceremony on April 11.
On the other hand, participating troupes are taking part in an open-air cultural event featuring songs, dancing, recitation, and staging street-plays just outside the venue of the festival everyday.
