Voices was at the 2021 Lit Crawl too at Central Square's Artifact Cider Project on the outdoor patio where 4 tellers from previous Voices Mainstage shows shared stories about their immigrant journeys. The open mic section at the end had some great stories too.
"Ekti Abhinaba Natoker Mohora" (In search of a novel play) is a dark absurd comedy that reflects the state of humankind in current times. It takes us on a spiral of stories that are repeatedly fragmented leaving one wondering what is true. An ensemble cast of human and non-human characters create a collective collage of the despair and ludicrousness of our current life.

About Off-Kendrik:
We are a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization serving South-Asian community of Boston/New England area through Art, Theater and Storytelling for today and tomorrow. Most of our Theatrical Productions are original plays written and performed in Bengali. Super-captions in English are incorporated for non-Bengali audiences as and when logistics permit.
We also present a Story telling event called Voices, every year and now every 3 months with a virtual slam. Modeled after 'The Moth Radio Hour' from Public Radio, 'Voices' curates stories from the South Asian community, loosely themed on immigrant experiences.
We regularly organize Theater workshops to learn about various forms, techniques and contents of theater and storytelling. We also provide a platform for various theater groups/personalities, social activists and young leaders to talk about their work and express their thoughts.
Supported with a grant from :-
We are grateful to the Mass Cultural Council for their generous grant to help us increase our audience reach. We are a theater organization who produce theatre primarily in Bengali. With the Mass Cultural Council grant, we were able to buy a captioning system which will increase our reach to non-Bengali speaking communities as well thus making our productions that much more inclusive.

HELP FOR COVID victims in India
The recent spate of hate crimes against Asians in the United States, including the vicious murders in Atlanta, brazenly violate all notions of social justice. Deeply committed to diversity, inclusion and social justice, Off-Kendrik stands in solidarity with the ongoing protests against these crimes, as it does with any resistance to racial or other injustices anywhere.
