ECTA presents “Aami Jagadish” - a play in Bengali (with English SuperTitles).
Written by: Sudipta Bhawmik
Directed by: Soumendu Bhattacharya
Synopsis:
We, the common people, are hardly aware of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose’s works and his contribution to science. We know Bose invented the radio receiver. We know he was the first to prove that plants are “sentient” beings. However, this oversimplification doesn’t do justice to his extensive contribution to the field of plant science. Today, when rapid climate change is hurling our planet towards an unprecedented crisis, maybe Dr. Bose’s works on plant science can help us find a solution. The protagonist of the play, Dr. Nirup Biswas strongly believes in this theory. He thinks, understanding plants is the only way to save our planet. Plants survived on this planet for millions of years while other species failed to make it through similar disasters. Dr. Biswas believes we must find ways to communicate with plants. Only then we might be able to survive the impending disaster. But is Dr. Biswas’s belief only a pipe dream? Or is it an implausible thought of a deranged mind? ECTA’s production “Aami Jagadish” tries to seek an answer to this question.
