In the Bangla cultural calendar, spring often arrives not only in colour, but in melody. This season, that arrival takes shape in “Boshonto”, a lyrical play dedicated to poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, while drawing from the timeless world of Rabindranath Tagore.

Spring or boshonto is the last of the six Bangla seasons and happens to fall between winter and summer, spreading over the Bangla months of Falgun and Chaitra (mid-February to mid-April).
