Two shows of ‘Tragedy Polashbari’ tomorrow

Theatre troupe Prachyanat will stage two consecutive shows of its much-anticipated play titled ‘Tragedy Polashbari’ at the Experimental Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) in Segun Bagicha of the capital tomorrow.

The first show will be staged at 6pm, while the second show will be staged 7:45pm at the same venue.

The play depicts the tragic collapse of a nine-storey factory at Polashbari in April 2005, the Spectrum Sweater and Knitting Factory situated at Savar’s Polashbari area, that collapsed in the middle of the night killing 64 garment workers and injuring several others. Prachyanat’s 30th production ‘Tragedy Polashbari’ has been created to pay tribute to those RMG worker victims who died in the collapse of a nine-storey factory at Polashbari in April 2005. The story centres around RMG worker named Tarabhan, who, facing a dire situation at home, moves to the capital from a northern district of the country and takes up a job at the Spectrum RMG factory. As she begins a new life with her colleague, the deadly incident occurs. In the play, Tarabhan describes to the audience, mostly in soliloquy, how the accident shattered the dreams of girls like her.

The 27-minute play casts Parveen Sultana Koli, Mohammad Rafique, Rifat Ahmed Nobel, Gopi Debnath, Moniruzzaman and others in different roles. Abul Hasnat Bhuiyan Ripon has done the stage and light design, while Neel Kamrul was on the background score.

Where: BSA, Segun Bagicha

When: 6pm, 7:45pm, tomorrow
