A small,small world

Watched this play in Rang Shankara, this went saturday.
I liked the way live camera and projector was used in the play.
It became pretty boring towards the end though.

   

Details :

Greenland, close to the North Pole, 26th April 2007: By accident a helicopter pilot sees a man in the ice, picks him up and saves his life. The man is Hamidur Rahman from Bangladesh, 30 years old and on his way to his dream land Canada – illegally, ill-equipped and on foot. He has come from Germany, where he was about to be deported back to Bangladesh. It is not the first time Hamidur is running – from his political involvement in Bangladesh he runs away to Malaysia, from there he flees with his Malaysian wife and their son to Germany. What is he running from and who will believe him? Hamidurs life is the story of a smart villager on the global move, getting dangerously close to his dreams and failing to find a place in this world. Two actors with minimal sets and a camera, re-imagine and examine scenes from Hamidurs life. They lend their voices to people who knew Hamidur and seeks to find grains of truth in the fiction that is called documentary.
