Popular theatre troupe PranganeMor is going to stage a show of its Tagore’s play titled ‘Ami O Rabindranath’ today at 7pm at the Mahila Samiti Mancha in the capital’s Baily Road.

In the story of the play, Athoi visits the famous Shilaidaha Kuthibari (former residence of Bengal’s most celebrated poet, Rabindranath Tagore) in Kushtia along with her friends. There, she begins to explore Kuthibari and begins to ascend the steps of the staircase. Suddenly, Rabindranath himself appears before her. He offers to show Athoi around Kuthibari. In a trance, Athoi completely loses focus from her friends and reality. She begins speaking to Rabindranath. A 29-year-old, 69-year-old, 21-year-old and also 80-year-old Rabindranath appears before Athoi. With the images of all different ages, the writer discusses his work and phases of the different times of his life with Athoi. With Tagore’s various transformations in age, Athoi also begins to transform in age. Different aspects of Rabindranath’s life are shared through the different phases portrayed in the play.
