Imphal, October 15 2022:
As part of its golden jubilee celebration, Manipur State Kala Akademi organised 'Lalit Memorial Lecture-2022' at the auditorium of Government Dance College, Palace Compound, here, on Friday.
Presided over by Theatre Centre president Naba Warep-pa (Padmashri), the lecture was attended by prominent artistes and cultural activists of the state.
Theatre activist Dr N Premchand spoke on "Traditional Manipuri Theatre-Goura Leela, Sanshenba and Udukhon" for this year's lecture programme.
Speaking on the occasion, Kala Akademi deputy secretary Keisham Rajmani informed that the Memorial Lecture is one of the four lectures conducted by the Akademi annually.
This year's lecture is based on Manipuri traditional theatre and performing art forms such as Goura Leela, Sanshenba and Udukhon.
Observing that the performing art forms of the state are at the risk of disappearing, Rajmani remarked that the youth are no longer aware of the value of the above three performing art forms.
Thus, the lecture was organised in the interest of cultural and art enthusiasts, especially those belonging to the younger generation.
