O Motherland! Shadow Narratives of Bangladesh
The music of Bangladesh and contemporary shadow puppets come together to create a new view into Bangladeshi culture in the upcoming performance of O Motherland! Shadow Narratives of Bangladesh at Carrie Morris Arts Production (CMAP) Friday and Saturday October 26 & 27th, 8pm. Both shows are free, but reservations are recommended due to limited seating.
Akram Hossain, founder of the Bangla School of Music, the primary collaborator on the project, established the school in 1996 to promote Bengali culture through music lessons, language classes, and performances. This collaboration furthers the schools 12-year mission of increasing the appreciation of Bengali music in two free performances on Friday and Saturday, October 26 + 27, 8:00PM at 2221 Carpenter St, Detroit. Based on and set to songs performed by Hossain and the Bangla School of Music, this shadow puppet play showcases the past and present of Bengali culture for all to enjoy.
Funded in part by a 2018 Jim Henson Foundation Family Grant, attendees will be immersed into a world of flora, fauna, landscapes, and iconography of both Detroit and Bangladesh within the interior of CMAP's venue at 2221 Carpenter. These two performances are open to all and completely free.
