Ashish Khondker has taken on the task of translating this classic French play into Bengali. His adaptation promises to retain the essence and humour of the original while making it accessible to a broader audience.

The play, “Tirthojatri” is adapted from popular writer Humayun Kabir’s philosophical fiction “Tirthojatri Tinjon Tarkik.” The play is co-written by the fiction's original author, and Tauquir himself.

Running from July 14 to July 15, the festival was inaugurated by BSA director Liaquat Ali Lucky, by lighting ceremonial lamps.

Originally titled “Seven Steps Around the Fire” and written by contemporary Indian playwright Mahesh Dattani, the play has been translated by Shahidul Mamun.

The play is an adaptation from the famous novel of the same name, authored by the eminent novelist Akhteruzzaman Elias. The plot is a comprehensive narrative of the lives of people during the partition in 1947. Through this story, the novelist has brought out the life and reality of the time with a skillful hand.

The notice read that he can begin his occupancy starting from the coming April 13, 2023 or his next word-day, according to his existing contract.
