Disability-inclusive theatre play ‘Noishobde Ekattor (’71 in Silence)’ is set to be premiered on 9 and 10 March at National Theatre, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, a press release said Monday.
Produced by the British Council in partnership with Dhaka Theatre, the performance features 15 artists with disabilities from eight divisional cities of Bangladesh and focuses on the country’s Liberation War through different acting methods.
‘Noishobde Ekattor’ is a silent theatre piece that portrays the story of the birth of Bangladesh – how it was before, how the war started and the consequences of the war; a journey which is narrated using physical storytelling techniques on stage. The links for the tickets of the shows can be found at the Facebook pages of British Council Bangladesh and Dhaka Theatre.
The theatre piece is directed by Ramesh Meyyappan, a Glasgow-based theatre maker who develops performances using an eclectic mix of visual and physical theatre styles.
