Helen Keller, the acclaimed mono-drama of Bangladesh's Natyasangathan Swapnadal, has been selected for the 'International Virtual Theatre Festival'.

On the opening day of the virtual episode of the festival, the production of 'Helen Keller' will be screened on Thursday, December 17 at 8:30 pm Bangladesh time (8 pm India time) from Theatre Shine's Facebook page and YouTube channel. The Dunkuni Theatre Festival 2020-2021 is organized by Theatre Shine, a well-known theater organization in India in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Government of India.

Apurba Kumar Kundu has written and Zahid Ripon directed, an exceptional production based on the life-work-dream-struggle philosophy of Helen Keller. Juena Shabnam will act in it. Shakhawat Shyamal is the production manager.

Despite being visually, speech and hearing impaired, Helen Keller's production of the dream team revolves around the story of turning around against all the negativity of Helen Keller with strong self-confidence and the superhuman motivation of educator Anne Sullivan. In it, Helen Keller expresses her gratitude to her own teacher, Anne, for enriching her life in the company of world-famous personalities such as Charlie Chaplin-Mark Twain, Kennedy-Einstein.

The real nature of the strong influence of Rabindranath Tagore of the East and Rabindranath Tagore's philosophy is revealed in the life of Helen Keller of the West! It comes out in favour of women's awakening-humanism and its clear position against war-destruction-violence-racism and nuclear weapons. Besides, the various perfections of personal life are also elevated. Being able to fight against innumerable adversities, to be published and developed and to be dedicated to human welfare, perhaps the ultimate feeling of the ultimate success of life - ultimately became the mainstay in this production of modern Bengali drama based on Helen Keller's biographical and laboratory method.

This episode of 'International Virtual Theatre Festival' has been organized with the production of 8 countries of the world. It includes 'Helen Keller' of Swapnadal from Bangladesh and 'Jonoker Mrittu Nei' of Jagarani Theater and one play each from England, Russia, Korea, Pakistan, Spain, France and India.
