Rother Roshi: BD Theater Drama | My Experience as a Performer
Rother Roshi, which means “The Rings of the Chariot,” is a powerful stage drama. I performed a role in this play, and it became a very meaningful experience for me. The drama speaks about people, belief, and real strength. It uses simple moments to express deep ideas that stay in the mind long after the performance ends.
The story takes place during Rath Yatra. From early morning, people gather from many places to see the sacred chariot begin its journey. Everything is prepared carefully. The ropes are in place, and the crowd is full of hope and excitement. But when the time comes, the chariot does not move, no matter how hard people try.
Priests begin to pray. Soldiers use their strength. Wealthy people give their commands. Still, the chariot remains still. Slowly, fear spreads among the people. Many begin to worry that something bad will happen. Some warn of danger and misfortune, and confusion fills the air.
At this moment, a group of ordinary workers steps forward. They do not have power, wealth, or authority. They stand together and pull the ropes with unity. Slowly and quietly, the chariot begins to move. It does not move toward power or control. It moves toward the people themselves.
A poet in the story explains this moment with simple truth. The chariot does not move by force or masculinity. It moves by togetherness. This message becomes the heart of Rother Roshi and gives the story its deep meaning.
Performing in this drama was a special experience for me. Every movement had purpose, and every silence carried emotion. The play does not explain everything directly. Instead, it allows the audience to feel, think, and reflect in their own way.
Rother Roshi is important even today. It reminds us that real strength does not come from authority or power. It comes when people stand together with shared belief. The story is simple, but its message is strong and timeless.
Being part of Rother Roshi has stayed with me as an artist and performer. It reminded me that theatre can speak quietly yet deeply. This performance will always remain a meaningful part of my creative journey.
