12th January Celebrations & Staging of 'Charandas Chor'

On 12th January '10 (Swami Vivekananda's Birthday) in addition to inspiring readings, talks, and songs, we screened a major play - stalwart theatre personality Late Habib Tanvir's 'Charandas Chor', which we adapted from original Chhattisgarhi into Bengali. The play was 2 hour in duration and involved a crew of 35 performers, with 9 songs. A lot of ancillary creativite pursuits were also built around the event like set designs, poster designs, lights and sound arrangements, make-up and dresses etc, all done by Parivaar-ites, making the event an exercise very rich in creativity.

The play was performed for the second time in front of huge village audiences in Bakhrahat on 22nd January. The play will be taken to many other venues in the near future.
