See you all at the grand opening on the 21st at the National Theatre of Shilpakala Academy in Dhaka. Stay tuned to blog.chobimela.wordress.com for regular updates.

By Rahnuma Ahmed: Felani's clothes got entangled in the barbed wire when she was crossing the Anantapur border in Kurigram. It was 6 in the morning, Friday, 7th January 2011. Felani was 15, she worked in Delhi and was returning home with her father after ten years. To get married. She screamed. The BSF shot her dead. They took away her body.
