Imphal, October 24 2013:
The invocation ceremony for the first production (drama) of Laungdaimei Arts and Culture Academy, Manipur entitled Ringchammei Thang Theichammei was held today at Zeliangrong Union Building, Kakhulong with Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam and ZU (AMN) president gracing the event as the chief guest and president respectively.
The first drama in Kabui dialect is the translated version of Khundongbam Brojendro's 'Hingmingnabei Sharuk Shiminnaba' and is scheduled for staging at the upcoming Manipur Sangai Festival.
In his brief address, Gaikhangam exuded confidence that revival of the Kabui theatre activities after a lapse of about 20 years will certainly boost in further developing the Kabui art and culture.
The fact that the drama is based on integrity is even more appreciable as it highly suitable in the context of Manipur's present situation, said the Deputy CM reminding all concerned that art and culture continues to play an integral part in forging stronger ties amongst various communities in the multi-ethnic society like Manipur.
The drama is translated into Kabui dialect by Star Kamei.
