To protest against the atrocities in Palestine, leading theatre troupe Prachyanat organised a road show on July 19 at Chobir Haat, Shahbagh. They have displayed several forms of art such as installation, instrumental play, and theatre presentation.
The performers, including theatre activists, artists, students- all in black- gathered to call for an end to Israeli military action in Gaza.
An installation was showed by Shobbo Shachi Hazra depicting three coffins. The symbolic coffin represented a flag, a peace sign and another one against war, coloured in black. These coffins were surrounded by red roses and candles, depicting love and hope.
An improvised musical piece was performed by Prachyanat.
They performed a short skit that showed the bombing in Gaza, people dying and the last part showed people being mere spectators in the Palestine-Israel conflict.
Saiful Islam Jarnal, member of Prachyanat, said: “The aim of the production was to ask for justice and freedom of the Palestinians and demanding victory for humanity.”
The theatre troupe is raising funds to save children in Palestine.
