BohurupeeRangakarmeeSundaramSanglapPaatiniMasquerade - the performance group
The lone exception among the theatre groups in India, where the life of groups has been traditionally short. Has an uninterrupted history of creative endeavour and stage productions for the last 50 years being established by the doyen of Modern Indian Theatre, Sri Sombhu Mitra in 1948. Bohurupee has in its repertoire nearly 62 major production. Balanced between original plays and adaptations, it does classical as well as contemporary presentations. Between some memorables in the history of the Bengali Theatre and a few experimenations, "Bohurupee" stands out on the modern Indian Theatre scene through its striving for a form and an equal concern for relevant content. Another dimension of the activities of "Bohurupee" has been its taking initiative in providing a base for meaningful interaction among various cultures in the country. It is proud of the fact that there has grown since, a sense of togetherness among the different theatre traditions in the country. This exercise has been started long back since 1954. To the people of Delhi, Bombay, Pune, Nagpur, Patna, Jamshedpur and Allahabad, etc. "Bohurupee" is synonymous with quality theatre. "Bohurupee" has been continuing its contacts with the theatre lovers of our country and presenting plays of great varieties, the common traits of which have been an economy of techniques, a complexity of themes, a discipline of the group where every actor is first actor and a totality of effects. From inception "Bohurupee" has been keeping a vigilant eye on the contemporarity of content as well as productional technicalities. "Bohurupee" is regarded the pioneer organisation which has successfully staged plays of Rabindranath Tagore, viz., Raktakarabi, Char Adhyay, Visarjan, Raja, Malini and Muktadhara, one after another and thereby disproved the prevalent allegation of non-stageability of Tagore's plays. It has produced works of great foreign playwrights such as Sophocles, Ibsen, Chekov, O'Neill, Brecht, Anouilh, Sartre and the Sanksrit classic Mrichchakatika by Sudraka. Along side, it has also produced the works of established Indian playwrights such as Tulshi Lahiri, Manmatha Roy, Sombhu Mitra, Badal Sarkar, Vijay Tendulkar, Manoj Mitra, Girish Karnad and Sisir Kumar Das. "Bohurupee" is the only group in the country to have thrown up on less than three national and international awardees in late Sombhu Mitra (Padmabushan, Sangeet Natak Award, Magsaysay Award, Kalidas Samman, etc.), Late Tripti Mitra ((Padmashree, Sangeet Natak Award, Dinabandhu Puraskar, Kalidas Samman), Kumar Roy (Sangeet Natak Award, Dinabandhu Puraskar) for their contributions to theatre and achievements in "Bohurupee".
