Description
-
Presented in 2024, BAAT staged Kittonkhola, the celebrated play by Bangladeshi playwright Selim Al Deen. Set in rural Bangladesh along the Kittonkhola River, the drama explores the tensions between communal festivity and the hardships of everyday life. Combining elements of drama, music, and movement, the work is known for its poetic language and non-linear structure and is widely regarded as a modern classic of Bengali theatre.
The production brought Bay Area performers into collaboration with theatre practitioners Partha Pratim Deb and Rupa Deb, artists closely associated with contemporary Bengali stage traditions.
