Jugo Prabortak Madhukovi (The Epoch-Maker Poet Madhu) presented on September 29 was a dance drama by Jodhpur Park Saraswat Sanskriti Kendra and directed by Kabita Chatterjee and Shubhasis Dutta. Founded by the eminent Bharatanatyam dancer Anita Mallick in 1984, the Kendra has been producing many significant events over the last few decades, with current production on the Madhusudan Manch, named after the poet himself! Here is how the production was viewed by the Kendra: "In the arena of Bengali literature, Michael Madhusudan Dutt is considered as an unparalleled talent responsible for bringing on the Renaissance in literature written in Bengali language. Born in 1828, he was a poet, a dramaturge and a farce writer. Attracted by the Western culture, he converted from Hindu religion to Christianity during his youth and started producing his literary works in English language. In his early life, Dutt married and divorced an English lady Rebecca McTavish Thompson. Later, a French woman Emilia Henrietta Sofia became his second wife. During the second phase of life, the poet focussed on writing Bengali literature. His credentials for creating Sonnet in Bengali language and inventing Blank Verse, a rhyming pattern of poem, are well founded. His personal life was more dramatic and full of heart-rending sagas. The great poet and playwright died prematurely in 1873."Read more in the site
