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.
