‘Helen Keller’ to take the spotlight at Shilpakala for Rabindra Jayanti

Swapnadal’s “Helen Keller” goes deeper than the familiar narrative of perseverance. It reveals the fascinating, often overlooked connection between Helen Keller and Rabindranath Tagore — exploring how the poet-philosopher’s ideas of human dignity, empathy, and universalism profoundly impacted Keller’s worldview. In doing so, the play not only celebrates Keller’s extraordinary triumphs but also spotlights the subtle ways Eastern thought influenced Western history.
