The 92nd staging of BotTala's acclaimed play 'Khona' directed by Mohammad Ali Haider will be held on Friday, April 18, 2025, at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy's Parikshan Theatre Hall at 7 pm.
The first obstacle for a woman to step outside the house comes from within the house. With this theme, Khona is a narrative play that brings to the fore the questions of women and class. Even though the story is fifteen hundred years old, it is still equally relevant today.
Khona is a stage play that proposes an intensive and multidimensional reading of the various equations of power structures on the issue of women, equality, and class, and hints at the distant past. Starting from the first performance in front of thousands of people at the Central Shaheed Minar on the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, Khona has been praised and praised by countless audiences at home and abroad in the last 91 performances.
The staging of 'Khona' at the beginning of the Bengali New Year 1432 is also an occasion to celebrate the existing culture and rituals of this town.
