Hami Chhelibiti

Hami Chhelibiti invites you to a world rarely seen - and even hardly ever understood.

Set in a remote, uncharted landscape where life unfolds beyond the reach of modernity, the play is a powerful story of love, longing and loss. At its heart is a young boy - deeply connected to the rhythm of nature and the world around him - whose life suddenly take an unexpected turn. What happens next will take you through the saga of life - from living to surviving and sometimes just existing.

Through this journey, the play opens a window into a community rich in culture, music, and unspoken bonds, even as it grapples with change, desire and disruption. As the lines between innocence and intrusion begin to fade, Hami Chhelibiti raised a profound question: what changes when "progress" enters a world that has long thrived in its own unique pattern?

Visually vibrant, emotionally stirring and rooted in the folk soul of Purulia, this epic theatre experience blends storytelling with deep-rooted and revered indigenous traditions like Jhumur songs, Santali dance, and Purulia Chhau into a powerful, immersive spectacle brought to life by more than 30 actors and performers.
