EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTIONS

BUILDING COMPLETE PERFORMERS.
Eco-Sensitive Themes: A recurring theme in their work is the relationship between nature and humanity. Their production Uraal focused on the destruction of migratory bird nests, while Rupnaraner Arupkotha used physical theatre to dramatize the riverine geography of the Tamluk region. Physical and Experimental Theatre: They emphasize choreographed movements and physical storytelling, often receiving guidance from veterans like Probir Guha.
1. Rupnaraner Arupkotha
An eco-sensitive production where the rivers of the Tamluk region are the principal characters. Performed through physical theatre, this piece dramatizes the riverine geography and the relationship between water, land, and people.
2. Zinda Lash
A topical drama centered on the struggles and risks faced by investigative journalists in small towns. A raw, unflinching look at truth-telling in dangerous environments.
3. Uraal
An eco-feminist piece performed entirely outdoors that addresses environmental destruction, specifically the devastation of migratory bird nesting grounds. Physical theatre at its most urgent and poetic.
