Prangonemor to stage ‘Raktakarabi’ today

Theatre troupe Prangonemor will stage their play ‘Raktakarabi’ today at 7:00pm at the National Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) in the capital.

Written by Rabindranath Tagore, the metaphoric play ‘Raktakarabi’ is directed by Nuna Afroz for the evening.

The play tells the story of a king who lives behind an iron curtain while his subjects are to face cruelty and death delivered upon them on the slightest pretext.

The play shows the land known as “Jajnapuri”, where mankind has never set foot. People are forced to dig in mines so that King Makar-Raj can have riches, which is quite typical in our culture.

A young woman named Nandini visits Jajnapuri one day in quest of her beloved, Ranjan.

Every man in the realm, even King Makar-Raj, has a desire to win her immediately after her arrival.

The play continues as when they fail to get her, the feeling of not having something that the hearts truly desire and the emptiness in their hearts start to take over and a conflict begins to befall.

The probable cast of the play includes Nuna Afroz, Ananta Hira, Ramiz Razu, Awal Reza, Saewar Saikat, Sagor Ray, Nizam Liton, Jewel Rana, Shujoy, Badhon Sarkar and others.
