Subachan Natya Shangsad will stage its highly acclaimed play “Mohajoner Nao” Wednesday at the Experimental Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy at 7pm.
Written by Shakoor Majid and directed by Sudip Chakraborty, the 33rd production of Subachan narrates the story of legendary baul devotee Shah Abdul Karim and his journey to the realm of music through different sequences based on biography. The play is written by Shakoor Majid and directed by Sudip Chakrobarty.
Throughout the play, the actors -- partly and fully -- sing over 20 timeless songs from Abdul Karim’s repertoire of over 1500 songs. Karim’s philosophy is, perhaps, best reflected through his songs. Both the playwright and director have aptly taken this approach to establish the storyline. The play also focuses on the difficulties that Karim faced in society.
The troupe premiered the play in 2010, next year to the death of the baul bard. So far the theatre has been staged in different local and foreign theatre festivals. The performances of the actors, creative set designing and music are the special features for which the play always attract the audience.
