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.

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.
