ECTA Celebrates Rabindranath Tagore’s 150th Birth Anniversary with “Rajar Chithi”

ECTA celebrates the great Indian Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore’s 150th birth anniversary with a new play “Rajar Chithi’ (Letter from the King - a play in Bengali with subtitles in English) at the Edison Valley Playhouse, 2196 Oak Tree Road, Edison NJ on June 11th (6.30pm), and 12th (5:00pm). Tickets are $20.00 and can be reserved by email to bhawmik@gmail.com or online at http://ecta.ticketleap.com/rajar-chithi.

During Rabindranath Tagore’s visit to San Francisco in 1916, media reports claim that there was an attempt by Indian nationalists to assassinate Tagore. Fortunately the plan did not succeed and the poet was provided with high level security by the local administration. It was further reported that the primary cause for their failure was that the nationalists could not agree amongst themselves as to whether they should carry out the assassination.  But was it really a failure that they couldn’t assassinate Tagore? Or was it the right thing to do?

The play “Rajar Chithi” is a fictional account of the moral, ideological and psychological conflicts these nationalist freedom fighters of India possibly had to experience to arrive at this decision.  The play also offers a deep insight into the social, political and philosophical influence Tagore had on the people at a time when the entire World was going through a great turmoil.

The play is written and directed by Sudipta Bhawmik.  The cast includes some very talented stage actors like Subhodev Das, Pinaki Datta and Piu Majumdar.

4:00 pmto10:00 pm

Chhandayan Presents “Rabindra Natak” - plays inspired by Rabindranath Tagore in celebration of his 150th Birth Anniversary

“The Last Flames”
an ECTA production
Written and directed by Sudipta Bhawmik

Basanta Koomar Roy, an expatriate journalist from India, is credited by many as one of the key persons responsible in popularizing the Nobel laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore in USA.  But Roy fell from his idol’s grace for reasons that torment many a biographer and journalist even today.  “The Last Flames” attempts to re-examine the relationship between Roy and Tagore and provides a peek at the human side of the great Poet’s personality.

“Mrinal’s Letter”
an Epic Actors Workshop production
Concept and execution by Gargi Mukherjee

Based on Rabindranath Tagore’s Streer Patra

May 28, 4pm and 8pm

Actor Theater Workshop
145 West, 28th Street
New York, NY (3rd Floor)
