Natokey Aatok

, will be held at Tapan Theatre on 20th and 21st April. People from four residential condominiums, Hiland Park, Westwind, Calcutta Greens and Happy Nook, will come together to engage in aesthetic and creative practices, bringing back the Bengali theatre scene into focus.
The festival has, for five years, fostered a passion for the theatre and dramatics that has encouraged locals to not only enjoy but participate as well.
The festival will be attended by eminent theatre personalities Biswajit Chakraborty, Suprio Dutta and interdisciplinary artist Sujoyprosad Chatterjee.
Dr. Sharmistha Ray, a member of the organising drama group Natokey Aatok, said “Every condominium has a group of passionate theatre lovers. Barring the lights, action and applauds, the actual fun is amateur theatre lies in the preparation, with late night rehearsals after a stressful day at office. Natyomelar Deshe was conceived to simply double the fun by providing a platform to stage productions by theatre lovers.”
