Independent theatre collective Spardha is launching its inaugural drama festival this year, offering a series of productions, workshops, and public discussions. The festival will run from August 8 to September 20, unfolding in three chapters designed to spotlight emerging talent and provoke meaningful dialogue through performance. The festival will begin with "Purbo Ranga" (August 8–30), a chapter that features five intensive workshops conducted by young theatre-makers. Titled "Tracking Experiential Paratheatre", this immersive event will merge performance, movement, and environment in a durational journey through lived experience. Speaking to bdnews24.com, Sohel Rana said, "Spardha's festival is not just a celebration of theatre—it's a platform for young voices, political questions, and radical aesthetics."
