Marking the 38th death anniversary of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, Chhayanaut organised an elaborate cultural programme on August 29 at its main auditorium. Reminiscing his immense contribution to Bangla literature, his zest for life and his protest against tyranny and injustice during the British rule, the programme was an array of performances on Nazrul’s remarkable works.
The event started with a group dance and song titled “Hey Partho Sharothi” by the students and teachers of the cultural organisation. The presentation was followed by Khairul Anam Shakil and Kolpona Anam rendering a poem of Nazrul. Several artistes dressed in white and blue performed soulful Nazrul songs after which dancer Warda Rihab and her students Aniditara and Pushpo took to the stage and performed on “Khele Nander Anginay.”
The presentation was very impressive with the dancers playing the roles of young Krisha, Mother Yashoda and Noni Churi portraying the tale of the mischievous Krishna stealing butter.
