Event Description : Sansaptak presents 'Mritashaucha (The Death Ritual)' A Bengali Play Written and Directed by Sh. Torit Mitra.

Mritashaucha is a play showcasing the rebellion of two different aged helpless women against the social injustice attributed by a poor, uncouth, uncultured and imbecile system. The play might lack a clear logic, somewhat oriented more towards a criminal mindset and being anti-social and alienated. Nonetheless, such alienation compels one to accept the illusion that he experiences on watching his reflection in a mirror as a residue of truth. Mritashaucha is a play that pushes one's life from self-delusion to self-destruction.

The three protagonists of Mritashaucha — the mother, the daughter and the old man — have a chimerical will of imagination and incorrigibly optimistic to face an unseen crisis. So strong is their desire to liberate themselves from destitution, atrocity, social alienation and the pain of exile that an improbable event is made to stand on the practical grounds of crisis and counter crisis, expression and projection that appears ruthless. 

Primarily, it is the story of the liberty sought by the helpless human beings. It is the dramatization of the ill-company of self-forgetting humans and their individual revolutions. The play encompasses the rebel that may be slightly distasteful or absurd to the law abiding humans with high social and moral values. It administers a stern rebuke to today’s post modern mechanical euphoria and the virtual degeneration of values in this, so-called, global village.
