Description
With Rabindranath (1861-1941), we explored the songs that ever become muted, the dialogues that never became inane, and the brushes that never become colourless. With him we felt the sounds of silence, echoes of life and reflections of images that never left us in a void for a moment even after fifteen decades.
The compilation covers several area : reminiscences, tributes and assessment of the influence of Rabindranath direct and indirect – among the arts. The contributors, without whose ungrudging co-operation this compilation would not have seen the light of day, are renowned in their respective fields and quite a few are eminent scholars, critics as well as researchers.
Academy theatre considers the compilation a bounden duty to pay homage to Rabindranath in a Manner befitting him.
