BAGA presents Debashish at Durga Puja on October 3, 2014.

To see a video of Debashish, click here.

Debasish is a star in his own right when it comes to the art of recitation. With almost 15 years' experience under his belt, this man is one of the most popular recitation artistes in West Bengal. Apart from his perfect vocal chords, crystal clear diction, Debasish's success and popularity is also due to his unique style and willingness to experiment. He uses a plethora of aids to enrich his stage performance. Visuals, music and other sound effects...his own voice, choruses, songs or even sounds from nature ...making his shows an audio visual extravaganza.

BAGA presents Iman Chakraborty at our Durga Puja on October 4, 2014.

Iman is one of the most talented upcoming Rabindrasangeet & folk singers of her time. Her style and unique voice has won her fans all over the world.

Shaktirupena

The creators and destroyers of the world – according to Hindu mythology – all get their supernatural powers from the “Shakti,” a manifestation of the different forms of power which all generated from various forms of Goddesses, thereby signifying the women power and its relationship to creationism of various parts of the universe. The power of Shakti is cosmological. Her energy is ever changing, moving from one entity to another to facilitate life. The energy of Shakti in five manifestations - Sati, Parvati, Durga, Kali and Annapurna is studied through the language of classical-fusion dance in this BAGA production.

Director: Shankar Sengupta

Kabi Kahini
