Mahakal Natya Sampraday’s 26th anniversary celebration started with the staging of “Antarjatra” at the Experimental Theatre Hall, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy on July 23. Narayanganj-based Aikik Theatre staged the play.

Despite discouraging atmosphere, theatre activities outside Dhaka are gradually increasing and out of town troupes are regularly featured in festivals held in Dhaka. These troupes need more exposure and most importantly they need better infrastructure. ITI Worldwide President Ramendu Majumdar addressed these issues at the inauguration of the festival and urged authorities to take steps to encourage theatre activities across the country.
