| বিনোদিনী অপেরা · Binodini Opera | 19 May 2023 | Madhusudan Mancha | Rashbehari Shailushik | A musical on the life of Noti Binodini. The ending draws on Brechtian Epic Theatre. Directed by Padmanabha Dasgupta; Sudipta Chakraborty played Binodini. |
| হারানের নাতজামাই · Haraner Natjamai | 17 May 2023 | Academy of Fine Arts | Set during the Tebhaga movement. Bhuban Mondal leads an effort to unite farmers against the local zamindar and police. Das, who sacrifices his life in the struggle, is Haran's son; his family continues to support Mondal. Mondal evades capture by disguising himself as Haran's natjamai (grandson-in-law), an idea credited to Moyna's mother. The real natjamai, Jagamohan, is also central: he defies his moneylender father and brings his wife Moyna home despite an unpaid dowry. Elements of jatra throughout; police brutality and the corruption of moneylenders shown unflinchingly. | |
