68TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF NATYACHARYA SELIM AL DEEN

Swapnadal brings mono-drama ‘Helen Keller’ on stage today

Swapnadal will bring their latest mono-drama ‘Helen Keller’ on stage at the Studio Theatre Hall of the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA), Segun Bagicha in the capital today, as a part of the three-day ‘Natyacharya Selim Al Deen Birth Anniversary Festival 2017’ to celebrate the 68th Birth Anniversary of the late theatre legend Selim Al Deen.

With the slogan ‘Rabindranath-Selim Al Deen Roy Oitijyer Dharay, Bangla Natyer Joy Jatra Kobhu Na Haray’, Swapnadal is holding the three-day festival at BSA premises. Theatre personality Dr Afsar Ahmed inaugurated the festival yesterday at the Studio Theatre Hall, while theatre personality Akhtaruzzaman was present as special guest.

Written by Apurba Kumar Kundu and Directed by Zahid Repon, ‘Helen Keller’ is the 17th and latest production of Swapnadal. The cast is Juana Sobnom, while the production manager is Shakhawat Shamol.

The production depicts the life-works-dreams-struggle-philosophy of the legend and ‘Wonder of the World’ Helen Keller. She was deaf-dumb-blind person, but able to overcome all obstacles by her extreme self-confidence and also by the extra-ordinary support of her teacher Anne Sullivan.

Hellen Keller was highly influenced by the philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore and also by the thoughts of Charlie Chaplin, Mark Twain, Kennedy, Einstein. In ‘Hellen Keller’ when she expresses gratitude to her teacher, the influences of those great masters on her become alive.

‘Helen Keller’ also speaks about her expectations of the women empowerment and humanism, strong stand against racisms, war, destruction and abuse of the Atomic weapons. Besides that, the experience of satisfactions and dissatisfactions in her personal life is also depicted in the ‘Helen Keller’.

She also expresses her own philosophy and that is to be able to dedicate someone in the human welfare despite of all obstacles or struggles, and that is called the true humanity. Finally, this philosophy becomes the prime lesson of the production ‘Helen Keller’.

Where: BSA, Segub Bagicha

When: 7pm, today
