The Play
A collage of extracts and excerpts from Tagore’s poems, songs, novels, stories, dramas and essays, occasionally with English translations, to the accompaniment of musical instruments like the violin and keyboard. This text-performance concludes with a sequence from Satyajit Ray's film GhareBaire, transformed on stage by Swatilekha Sengupta herself who had acted as Bimala in that Ray-film.
