Theatre Palakar will stage “Banglar Mati Banglar Jol” today at 6:30pm at the National Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.
Based on Rabindranath Tagore’s “Chhinnapatra,” the play has been written by Syed Shamsul Haq and directed by Ataur Rahman.
In the story, Rabindranath Tagore narrates his memory with Shilaidaha, the place by the Gorai River where he wished to return.
He reminisces the period from 1889-1895, “the most productive period of my literary life” as described by the polymath. He wrote on riverine beauty and greeneries of Bangladesh during this period.
The play also describes how he was influenced by bauls and their philosophy.
