Koushik Sen's group Swapnashandhani is going to celebrate their 16th birth anniversary through a theatre festival of three days(28th, 29th and 30th May). This year they are going to perform a new play based on Salim Al Din's "HARGAJ". According to Koushik Sen Salim Al Din is one of the best playwrights of our Continent. His writing st
yle is imaginative. The director has to face lot of challanges while working on the text of Salim. Salim's writing is traditional as he used folk forms like Panchali, Kathakatha, Kirtan but at the same time it is very contemporary. The director has to face a dilema to chose the performative form of Salim's play. Salim's writing is very much vast so the director has to chose the eliments and create the play. They are rehearsing regularly. Koushik Sen thinks that "HARGAJ" is tougher than Prachya, his previous work based on Salim's text. There is a mobility in "HARGAJ". The subject matter of "HARGAJ" is Death, Destruction and Body. In new era there is a trend to make our body beautiful. But when body destroys nothing is left except the scattered parts of our body !

Suranjana Dasgupta is also going to perform a new play named "MONIKAHINI" based on Saradindu's "Shyamantak" under the banner of her own group i.e Nirbak Abhinoy Academy. Theatre has no impact in our society. But we live in a l
uxurious society, where every child's mind wants an outlet. Theatre can socialize a child, theatre can materialize their emotions. Theatre artists live together, work together very easily. Theatre can give new life to the new generation. Thus She is working with teen age actors. She is getting excited while working with the artists. She is very much enjoying it. Sometimes she is feeling like a teen ager while working with all teen agers. According to her this is the most beautiful gift ! She has chosen Sharadindu because she thinks that Bengali literature is not getting enough attention in Bengali society. Teen agers are not habituated to read Puranas like Mahavarata and Ramayana. She believes that Sharadindu's literature is able to take place in World's literature. But the problem is that the stories are in Bengali. She chosed Sharadindu to make aware that we Bengalis have such a great creation in our literature.
