The indigenous theatre of North-East India which had contributed substantially to the development of artistic and cultural discourse of the eight States through their original pristine forms, substantiated from ritual, dramatic encounters and other proto-theatrical traditions shall be previewed at Guwahati to be finally presented to the national audience at the IGNCA campus in March, 2011 along with the workshop. The Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra shall take responsibility for organising the event.
This is a major innovative step initiated by the IGNCA to bring North East India’s art and culture discourse into greater public visibility after a successful performance festival of North-East India and South-East Asian dances and a fusion programme last year, the release added.
