Discussants at the programme praised the government for sending a popular production of the country to represent the rich theatre tradition of Bangladesh at an international theatre competition.
"We thank the Ministry of Cultural Affairs for considering our production for the festival. The experimental production
performed by the young talents should tire viewers overseas, " hoped Yousuff.
"It should enhance our image abroad," said, Ramendu Majumder.
DG of BSA said, "I've watched the pro-ductidn twice lift DHakA.T b^iWe thVffiSs’* “ tery of Selim Al Deen as a playwright, displayed in Nimojjon, will draw interest at the festival."
"A day will come when Selim Al Deen would be considered as one of the most creative dramatists in tire world," he hoped.
Nimojjon does not follow any conven-
tional structure; neither does it develop any particular storyline. Through narratives, the play presents a chronological look at genocides around the globe. According to the play, the Jai,story of pivili-. aim genocides are interwoven -• every civilisation has had a history of genocide. And the repetition of these brutal incidents has brought down humans from the superior position. It is a paradox. The play also stresses that unless the structure of a state is not designed for the welfare of humanity, genocides will never end.
