"Revolutionizing Tomorrow: Bold Innovations and Emerging Trends"
Ranjan Kumar Singh
Protik is now completing three decades of its establishment, starting its journey in the autumn afternoon of 1986 and continuing to dig. Location of Deundi Tea Garden in Chunarughat Upazila of Habiganj District of Greater Sylhet Region. Habiganj is about 25 km from the district headquarters. For a long time, the workers and employees of the tea plantations have kept the lamp of the art called Protik Theater burning. Protik Theater shows real-life thoughts through plays, cherishing the culture of tea workers. The symbol is running across hundreds of obstacles to develop the hidden consciousness of people through education and cultural practices. All the theater friends who have been lost from us in three decades, whose footsteps enriched the theatrical arena of Protik, the soul of Protik Feroze Iqbal Raju popularly known as Khan Raju Iqbal, President Mr. Jatan Ravidas, Samar Roy Comedian, Jhumur dance expert Ever smiling music artist Moni Shankar Kalindi: The banyan tree, the charioteer of happiness and sorrow, is Vishnupada Acharya. Respectfully remembering them today.
The play talks about the mass awakening of the people. Today Protik Theater is a beacon of dreams for the tea labor community. The journey that started with 'sweat drop fire' has not stopped till today, it is constantly running sometimes with road plays, sometimes stage plays from villages to suburbs, from suburbs to district cities, departmental cities to Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy's test theater hall. Protik Theater is now a member of Gram Theater and Bangladesh Group Theater Federation. Along with the Protik Theater, the children's organization Protik Little Theater was built along the continuous path. Devoted Pran Komal Moti Shishu Natya Friends are also not lagging behind and are staging plays at the invitation of various children's organizations.
An organization called Protik is completing thirty years of performing theater in this neglected village tea garden. Which is amazing to think about. Why not those who run out of water to bring salt will practice drama again. Protik Theater has been doing that difficult and difficult task for thirty years. This group, which started by staging the street play 'Ghamer Photay Agun', has staged 34 street plays, Shishu Madhancha plays and stage plays in thirty years. Among the dramas Nidhiram's Independence War, We Will Not Forget You, Independence Tum Kare and His Thorns are notable. The current tea workers came to this region from different states of distant India to change their fortunes with the dream. But instead of changing fortunes, brutality prevailed. The drama 'Nijbhume Parvasi' written in the language of tea plantations is written in the context of the brutality suffered in Chandpur on the way back to their homeland after forgetting all the atrocities on 20 May 1921. Also, Protik Theater has staged dramas 'Haimanti' and 'Pujar Saanj' based on Rabindra Nath Tagore's short story 'Haimanti' and Pooja Saanj Kavita. Some of the leading groups of Dhaka have only performed plays based on the stories of William Shakespeare. Protik Theater performed 'The Legend of the Achin Islands' in the New Art Drama Movement style based on William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
After three decades of its establishment, Protik Theater has been accompanied by the country's elite artists, theater personalities, and well-wishers in various Protik festivals. The dance floor of the Deundi tea garden became lively with their footsteps.
Thanks to all those good people.
