Dear Community Members
I’m pleased to let you know that BAAWA cultural subcommittee had approved the below full length bangla drama proposal, the drama will be held on Saturday, May 04, 2019 at Nexus Theatre, Murdoch University, Murdoch.
Drama name: Raktokarobi by Rabindranath Tagore
Adaptation and Direction: Bapi Mazhar
Production: Bangla Theatre, Perth
“Raktokarobi”, a symbolic play based on certain essential truth of life. The play, according to Tagore, “is an expression of that truth to which we are accustomed that we have forgotten all about it”. The name “Raktokarobi” indicates the beautiful but toxic nature of the flower (Red Oleander) and its association with beauty and death in the play. It is a power and poignant play where commercial exploitation, oppression, power, love and obsession operate on different levels and manifest themselves in different shapes.
The drama tickets will be on sale from March, please book early to avoid any disappointment.
Kind Regards
Raj Joarder
GS, BAAWA Inc.
