Alliance Française de Dhaka and Théâtre en tête present “Songs of Hawkers” A Comedy in Three Parts

TEXT AND DIRECTION – Zazie Hayoun

       

‘Songs of Hawkers’ is a comedic endeavor to highlight the livelihood of the hawkers on the street. They play an essential role in bringing back the humanity to the city. In the chaotic ensemble of city life, the hawkers make life easier for many people with their variety of products and prices cheaper than any supermarket shops. In this theatrical presentation combined with music, dance and puppets, the actors use the technique of Grand Guignol, which is a French form of theatre from the 19th Century. 

‘Songs of Hawkers’ tells three stories of hawkers that follow different characters easily recognizable from everyday reality –

‘The Secret’,

‘The Thief Rewarded’ and

‘The Competition’.

With hints of characters from the different hawkers around us, ‘Songs of Hawkers’ intends to pay a tribute to the street walkers, whose relentless chants bring poetry to our daily life.

Alliance Française de Dhaka presents Songs of Hawkers, a vibrant comedy in three parts, capturing the humor, rhythm, and resilience of street vendors through music, movement, and puppetry.
