Tagore’s works to come alive through storytelling and music on May 21

A Kolkata’s auditorium on Pretoria Street is set to host a unique cultural evening titled Choto Pran Choto Byatha on May 21, 7 pm onwards. It will bring together the timeless storytelling of Rabindranath Tagore with the soul-stirring beauty of Rabindrasangeet. The event will feature performances by acclaimed storytellers including Sohag Sen, Bijoylakshmi Burman, Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee, Chaiti Ghoshal, Sharmistha Goswami Chatterjee, Rubai Maity and Sutirtha Bedagna. Adding musical depth to the evening, Shabnam Meghali from Shantiniketan will perform Tagore’s songs that thread through the stories.
A Nobel laureate, poet, philosopher, and visionary, Rabindranath Tagore was also a master of short stories. His work explored human emotion, social contradictions, and the quiet poetry of everyday life. Choto Pran Choto Byatha invites audiences into this rich world – one where rebellion hides in silence, tradition dances with change, and the smallest moments echo the deepest truths.
