Prangone Mor stages �Irsha� after 8 months tomorrow
DL Desk
Popular theatre troupe Prangone Mor is going to bring its audience-admired production Irsha on the stage after eight long months; it will be staged tomorrow at 7pm at the National Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA), Segun Bagicha in the city. Written by prolific playwright Syed Shamsul Haq and directed by theatre activist Ananta Hira, Irsha is the eighth production of Prangone Mor, which falls in musical theatre, a form of theatre that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance.
The unique feature of this experimental play is that the 100-minute drama has only seven dialogues with the longest one being 36-minutes long while the shortest one is about 16 minutes.
The play portrays the abstract struggles and conflicts between man and man, art and art or even artist and artist. The play also features some complicated human relationships on stage, in an abstract way. The dialogues, through which the play goes forward, do not follow a particular storyline and highlight the beauties of rural Bangla, plenty and greenery of harvesting fields as well as the spirit of the War of Liberation.
The set and multimedia presentation for the play had been designed by Shahinoor Rahman while Zillur Rahman did the stage lights. Ramiz Raju composed the music and costumes were done by Nuna Afroz.
The lead cast of the play includes Ananta Hira, Nuna Afroz and Ramiz Raju.
Where: National Theatre Hall, BSA
When: 7 pm, tomorrow l
