In an endeavor to preserve the extremely rich theatre tradition of Manipur, which is gradually losing its popularity to Bollywood movies and television, the theatrical societies in the state have taken up the challenge to revive theatre.
They are trying to rope in the youth of the region and are promoting theatre as a viable business. They said Bollywood movies and TV have negatively impacted theater and this is cause for concern.
"We have a rich culture and we need to preserve it. Through our theatre and other performances we are trying our level best to preserve it," said Rayanti Rabha.
Nearly 400 artists recently gathered in Guwahati to participate in the theatre workshop that was held at the Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra under the aegis of Indira Gandhi National centre for arts.
