Ratan Thiyam’s Chorus Repertory Theatre play Orchids of Manipur: Traditional Music and Dance of Manipur, India Was held on Monday, March 7, 2011 at Asia Society and Museum 725 Park Avenue (at 70th Street), NYC
Ratan Thiyam
Artistic Director, Chorus Repertory Theatre
Writer, director, designer, musician, painter and actor.
One of India’s most celebrated theater companies led by Ratan Thiyam, hailed as a “genius” by The New York Times, performs an evening of classical and folk traditions of Manipur involving music, dance and martial arts. Bordered by Bhutan, Bangladesh and Burma/Myanmar, Manipur is rich in centuries-old artistic traditions.
Ratan Thiyam is one of the most important and influential theater makers at work in the international performance scene. Renowned for its disciplined performance practice, spectacular aural and visual esthetic, and potent thematic explorations, Thiyam’s work has placed him in the company of such figures as Suzuki, Brook, and Grotowski.
The son of dancers, Thiyam spent his childhood surrounded by both the creativity and the hardship associated with the arts. Though he was brought up learning dance and music, he began his professional studies in painting. He moved from there to journalism and poetry, which led him to the world of theater. In the late 1960s, Thiyam joined the experimental theater movement that challenged longstanding cultural and social norms by striving to deal with social issues more directly. He then graduated from the National School of Drama in Delhi, where he later returned to direct productions.
Ratan Thiyam has developed a concept of “total theatre”, in which combined forms of visual, oral, rhythmic and choreographic components helps surmount any language barriers. Aesthetically, he draws from ancient storytelling traditions, but he doesn’t necessarily mount traditional performances. Thematically, he interprets historical or mythical figures.

The Chorus Repertory Theatre
The Chorus Repertory Theatre of Imphal was established in April 1976 in one of the world’s most isolated areas, the valley of the hill state of Manipur in northeastern India. Here travel by non-nationals is restricted by special permit, informal curfews close the streets after dark, and violence is a tangible, daily threat. The Chorus Repertory Theatre has persevered with limited financial resources, six times surviving monsoons to build and re-build structures to live and work in from locally found materials. In spite of the difficult conditions of its existence, Chorus Repertory Theatre’s team of actors, designers, musicians, and technicians, all working under the direction of Ratan Thiyam, occupy a unique place in the world of international, contemporary theater. The company has gained fame far beyond India, and international theater directors including Peter Brook and Tadashi Suzuki have visited Imphal to work with the company. The company has traveled throughout India, and appeared at festivals including Edinburgh (First Fringe Award 1987), Glasgow, Dublin, Avignon, Perth, Adelaide, Rome, Cervantino, Mitsui, and Toga. Chorus Repertory Theatre has also performed in London and Paris, and toured countries including Greece, the former USSR, Holland, Cuba, South America, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand.
Thiyam’s works for Chorus Repertory Theatre are mesmerizing tapestries of rhythm, music, poetry, light, speech and color that draw on epic themes, historical figures and mythology. The Chorus Repertory Theatre of Imphal was established in April 1976 in one of the world’s most isolated areas, the valley of the hill state of Manipur in northeastern India.
This New York event was a rare opportunity to see one of India’s most distinguished companies, which occupies a unique place in the world of international, contemporary theater. Co-presented by Sanskrit Center. Part of The Kennedy Center’s Maximum India festival.

IMPHAL March 9: “When a blind man cries, there is no sadder tale”, lyrics from a song by a popular American band became a reality today at the state guest house.Special rapporteur (Disabilities) of the National Human Rights Commission P K Pincha, when expounding on the plight of the disabled had a similar effect to the physically challenged persons among others at the 2 days State consultation on rights of persons with Disabilities Act, 2011 which was organized by the Spastic Society of Manipur at the state guest house located at Sanjenthong today. A visually impaired person himself, Pincha voiced that disabled persons do not have to adapt to the society, but the society has to adapt to the disabled, so that the latter have the honor and status to live with dignity.
He lamented on the fact that even he was not given the related material on time for the said consultation, and even given so today, should have been in Braille, commenting on the hardship suffered by a disabled person going up three stories without a lift at the state guest house itself suggest the poignancy of the prevailing circumstances and the need to establish a new act which is disabled friendly.
He stated that there are two barriers which affect the disabled persons. Firstly, the ‘attitudinal barrier’ which the public have in lieu to the disabled equating disability with inequality and secondly, the ‘environmental barrier’ which hinders the accessibility of the disabled persons at public places. Such barriers have to be torn down and the exercise held today will be helpful in addressing the needs of the persons with disability, he stated.
The consultation held today discussed that India having endorsed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) is obligated to enact suitable legislation in furtherance of the rights recognized by the UN and it is purposed to replace the current disability legislations with a comprehensive law which recognizes all rights of persons with disabilities. The consultation held today unanimously resolved and drafted several points which will help in making the provisions of the new Disabled Act more positive and inclined to the human rights model than being a medical one.
The draft urges to guarantee equality and non discrimination to all persons with disabilities and recognize legal capacity of all persons with disabilities and make provision for support where required to exercise such legal capacity. To recognize the multiple and aggravated discrimination faced by women with disabilities and induct a gendered understanding in both rights and the programmatic interventions and to ensure children with disability being treated on an equal basis with other normal children. To mandate special programmatic interventions for ‘home bound’ persons with disabilities, persons with disabilities in institutions as also persons with high support needs.
Further ,to establish a disability rights authority which facilitates the formulation of disability policy and law with active participation of persons with disabilities, dismantles structural discrimination existing against persons with disabilities and regulates the due observance of regulations promulgated under this Act for the protection, promotion and enjoyment of all rights guaranteed in this act,and to specify civil and criminal sanctions for acts and conducts deemed to be wrongful.
Todays consultation was attended by Doctor Akshaykumar of RIMS Psychology department.Advocate Dolen Sharma and K Madhumangol as the resource persons.

IMPHAL March 9:The UNLF in a press statement from its Central Committee debunks the statement of Home Secretary GK Pillai made recently at a Tribal Exchange Program held at Ukhrul. The release states that the comment of GK Pillai stating that ,since the arrest of the UNLF Chairman and other top leaders of the outfit, UG groups have taken interest in starting peace talks is baseless and fictional. There is no truth in his statement and the UNLF still carries on the war of independence relentlessly, the outfit states that the leader and others may have been arrested but the UNLF still functions like clockwork and without any hindrances, the release said.
The stance of the Indian Government is a direct violation of the directives 53/144 of the UN made on December 9, 1998.But,the outfit will never compromise on its stance of holding the plebiscite which is in itself a real democratic exercise, and the imperialist ways of the Indian government will never be able to subdue the liberation movement, it said.
The words of the union secretary is tantamount to highlighting the fake agenda of the Indian Government, saying that a need to bring an amicable end to the Manipur –India conflict and on the other hand sending in scores of troops itself betray their true intentions. It is natural to suffer losses and casualties in the liberation movement, but arresting the chairman and other senior members and believing that the path to holding peace talks is paved is a folly of India, the it maintains.
Further it added, devious means are hatched by the Indian Government to fool the public and also to lure the other outfits. The Central Committee believes that peace talks and suspension of operations are traps of the Indian Government. Under the imperialist rule ,there is no sense in demanding autonomy, greater autonomy or alternative political arrangement and this is yet another trap set so that the communities create warlike situations amongst ourselves. This can be viewed as a bargaining chip by sidelining the sacrifices made by the thousands of freedom fighters of both the hill and the valley, the release states.

The claim of achievements by the Congress led Secular Progressive Front, SPF, government of chief minister, Okram Ibobi, in the address by the Governor of Manipur, Gurbachan Jagat, was more disturbing than reassuring. As expected, a major portion of the speech dealt with the law and order situation, and from the government’s point of view, this has improved. The claim, all are now aware, is based on two presumptions. One, certain underground organisations have agreed to lay down arms and hold peace talks. Two, the fighting force of the Manipur Police has grown, if we may add, exponentially. Once upon a time, it was the education department which was accused of over employment. Today this dubious distinction has been wrested away by the home department. It is amazing that in a matter of three years, January 2008 to January 2011, the size of the police force has jumped from 15,414 to 24,618. For a small state of two and half million people, this is indeed a quantum jump of 9201 police personnel.
Apart from the obvious picture of a massive militarisation of the state this gives, there is also another interesting sidelight. It is today an open secret that all of these jobs had a definite monetary price tag on them and even a constable’s job is known to cost at least Rs. 3 lakhs. The inference is, in the creation of these 9201 police department jobs, black money in bribe would be at least Rs. 276 crores. This should somewhat explain how so many marble palaces have sprung up amidst the continually decaying and expanding ghetto that Imphal has come to be. Obviously the government cannot claim this parallel growth of opulence black economy amongst rich and powerful as another achievement. But this is a reality nonetheless, regardless of whether the Governor’s speech is silent on the matter.
The second point to note is, the government’s other claim of having brought law and order under control on the alibi that some underground groups have agreed to sit down for negotiation is flawed. The first sets of underground groups under the suspension of operations, or SoO, are 18 Kuki militants groups in two umbrella organisations, UPF and KNO. This however is not a new development and the government has already claimed a breakthrough on this count several times before. The other development in which certain factions of a Meitei underground organisation agreed to hold talks, while no doubt good, can in no stretch of imagination be called significant. The crux of the insurgency amongst the Meiteis is still resolute on pursuing their agenda of fighting for sovereignty. These talks in the sidelines with minor and hopelessly splintered groups are hardly likely to have an impact on the larger politics of insurrection in the land. They are good in so far as some minor though very haranguing public irritants have been reined in. But this is nothing very much for the government to blow its own trumpet about.
While it is natural for the government to claim whatever it can to show it has not been sleeping, and while it is equally natural for the government to hide what is not flattering to its own image, let the reality be not lost sight of totally. The truth is the general public is less secure today than they ever were. This insecurity is not any more just about the raging insurgency of which anybody, guilty or innocent, can fall victim. Frightening as this predicament may be, Manipur has come to live with it for decades, and everybody has learnt to buy their own peace in their own little ways. It is not a happy condition, but one they know they cannot wish away. Life goes on. Besides this however, they have many more things to be mortally afraid of. Above all, this is about a diminishing hope of finding respectable career and livelihood. Many young men and women are flocking away from the state in search of greener pastures. Many more less fortunate are lost in dreadful unemployment at home and an increasing number are resigning to drugs and despair. The government boasts that in three years it stretched and strained to create 9201 police jobs. Even if together with some intakes in other departments (which is hardly happening), the number of jobs created in the same period were to be 20,000, this would still remain a fraction of the nearly 40,000 degree holders our colleges and universities churn out every year. The government employment exchange is the index of this and today it has nearly 7 lakh and still counting job seekers registered. What vision do the government have for them all? The Assembly should be debating issues such as this, and not be complacent with presenting selective data that conjure up deceptive pictures of peace and progress.
