Tarua to stage 3 shows of ‘Adam Surat’ at BSA

Theatre troupe Tarua will stage the three consecutive shows of its latest production, ‘Adam Surat’ at the Experimental Theatre Hall of the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA), Segun Bagicha in the capital.

The play ‘Adam Surat’ has been written and directed by Bakar Bakul. The troupe will stage sixth show today at 7:15 pm. The seventh show will be staged tomorrow and 8th show will be staged on June 12 at the same venue and time.

The play, ‘Adam Surat’, is a composite form of isolated scenarios that draw content from the events that happen every day. Emotional questions take precedence over any sequential story or grammatical dramatisation, making it a unique theatrical experience. The play follows the story of Hisabul, who finds himself buried underground, awaiting the account of Munkar Nakeer. His childhood, adolescence, and youth growing up in Baludhum village form the backdrop of his memories. The play features several shocking incidents, including the genocide of dogs, the emigration of a humiliated teacher, and the sight of a cow’s severed head.

The play also delves into the lives of various characters, such as an unemployed accountant, a father who lost his hand in a jute mill, and a coolie who finds a human toe in a local butcher’s meat.

The play casts Shahzada Somrat Chowdhury, Khairul Alam Himu, Iftee Ahmed, Swarnali Choity and others. Ahmed Opu has designed stage, while Hendry Sen designed light and Enam Saki Tara designed costume for the play. The troupe has strictly forbidden anyone who is under 18 to enjoy the drama.
