Two plays focusing on various shades of relationship and realisation. The first play ‘Duti Galpo’ is a combination of two stories. First story tells how the immature love of a young couple culminates into a mature relationship, at their old ages, at the same coffee shop where they were departed from each other, long years ago.

In the second story we see a blind man who spends time in a coffee shop alone. On a particular day a girl comes and shares his table. They get introduced and talk to each other. Finally the girl leaves paying for both of them. The man comes to know that the girl was also blind only after she has left.

Religious beliefs or myths as well as daily life began to be written.However, in the nineteenth century, the city-centric literature centered on the renaissance in Bengal, the diaries of marginalized people came to the fore.Bankim, Rabindra, Saratchandra, Madhusudan episodes were prolonged which remained in the minds of Bengalis as timeless Bengali literature. Who has fertilized.The story of that Baroda series is ‘Moron Bhomra’. It is a surreal story. The French poet Andre Beaton is the proponent of this surrealism. Rishikalpo: ‘ A person is constantly fleeing from the consciousness of death by seeing a special bee. He thought that whenever he saw that special bumblebee, someone close to him would die.

Bidhisommoto Satorkikoron

Director: Shantanu Chattopadhyay

Our play, written by Shatadal Chakraborty and directed by Santanu Chatterjee is Prachyo’s street production against the communal fascist politics of the day. It starts with a King enquiring his minister about a banned food whose smell is omnipresent. The king is furious and the minister finds a poor person eating that food and attacks him. The king cannot tolerate dissent. Students, daily wage workers, farmers voice their dissent during a meeting. The king, symbolising the evil tyrant orders fire upon them. But still, we dream. We dream of overturning this exploitative system, we dream of a day when secularism is not dead and each individual has the right to choose their life.
