CHAPTER 1 - OPORPOKKHO: The Other Side

Based on a epistolary novella - this production is a dramatised reading of letters between two sisters- one who has left home for the city, the other who still lives with her parents. Both sisters reach that point when they must assess their lives and leave many things behind. Emotionally stirring and scathing in its critique of patriarchy and religious extremism.

Direction: Sangeeta Datta

Produced: Stormglass Productions

CHAPTER - A GOLDEN AGE

Tahmima Anam's A Golden Age is set against the backdrop of the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. The novel tells the story of the War of Independence (Mukti Judhho) through the eyes of the central character Rehana Haque and her family. Rehana's story begins in 1959, when she loses custody of her children after her husband's death. Along with her struggle to win them back, the novel narrates her attempts to protect them as they get swept up in the chaos and tumult of wartime.

Direction: Leesa Gazi

Production: Drishtipat Creative

CHAPTER 3 - SAKHI: FRIEND WHAT IS LOVE? WHAT IS PAIN?

Sakhi celebrates the spirit of female friendship. Inspired by migration stories of Asian women, the production celebrates journeys. Sakhi creates an intimate space in which women talk of love, hope and desire. A space present in classical literature and contemporary experience. A theatre - music interface connecting traditional forms like the thumri and padam to Tagore's songs, poetry and paintings. Each sakhi (friend) explores her journey, the love, loss, hope and resilience of life in a new land.
