Daedalus Assistant Director and Producer Tasnim Siddiqa Amin is joining with theatre-maker Yael Elisheva to present her new play, The Final Trumpet, at this year’s A Season of Bangla Drama. Yael, who will be directing, is also part of the team creating our Dysbiosis project, and it’s always extremely rewarding to see creative relationships from our own work blossoming in other projects by other companies.
The Final Trumpet is a story about a mother and daughter who are homeless as a result of flooding. They join millions of other present-day Bengalis in a search for refuge in their own country. From village to village, they hear stories which come from folklore and Islamic legends. These revolve around the reasons for so much disturbance in the natural world. Follow them on their journey in one woman’s mission to find refuge. Her inquisitive ten-year-old daughter is intent on finding out why this has happened. The unfortunate circumstances highlighted in these folk tales also allude to “global warming.”
This year’s festival programme is full of exciting projects, and we’ll be running a workshop, but this is definitely one not to miss!
