Story of Subochon Nirbasone:

An honest schoolteacher along with his two sons and a daughter has been living in the city. His elder son was a good student but does not get any job. Khokon's friend was not a good student but he got a job. Khokon protested the matter and for this reason, police sent him to prison. His younger brother does not respect his father's ideology. Khokon's only daughter left her husband house due to failure of not to lobby for husband's promotion. The story of the play represented a true picture of the society.

Rupankar Cultural Centre started its journey on January 1, 2007. Main aim of the centre is to raise voice against irregularities in the society and violence against human rights.
