Like the previous occasions, theatre troupe Swapnodal has organised staging of an anti-war play to observe Hiroshima Day today. The play titled, Tringsha Shatabdee one of the most acclaimed productions of the troupe, will be staged today at the Experimental Theatre Hall of BSA at 7:00pm.
Adapted from the original script by Badal Sircar, the play has been directed by Zahid Repon.
Though the plot of the play is based on the effects of the atomic explosion of Hiroshima-Nagasaki, one of the darkest chapters of humanity, it also focused on Bangladesh’s liberation war and other global turmoil as well. The cast and crew of the play included Hasan Rezaul, Sonali Rahman Julee, Fazle Rabbi Sukorno, Rakib Hossaim, Samad Bhuiyan, Zebunnesa Alo and SM Tareq.
In addition, Zahid Repon has packed some punches against the contemporary brutal wars initiated by the United States forces. And through a replicated military exercise he has depicted the nuclear activities of the global superpowers.
Hiroshima Day is observed around the world, recalling the United States’ dropping of the first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. The day is marked with special vigils and peace marches.
Organising special programmes on this day since 2002, the troupe took a firm stance against war and expressed their solidarity with war victims.
