Manipur, Aug 07 (ANI): Manipuri theatre is incomplete without the tribals. Their physical involvement and participation in theatrical enterprises or movement is unmatchable. 26-year-old Sorinchon Zimik from Ukhrul district is the first emerging Tangkhul Naga theatre artist in Manipur. She is also among the first tribal artists to receive “Young Artiste Scholarship” award from the central government for excelling in theatre, as her work has helped to promote the region’s tribal culture. Sorinchon started her career with singing gospel songs in local churches of her village and the nearby region. After working hard for years, Sorinchon got her first major break in the S Thaninleima’s Khengjonglang Theatre Group during a 45-day workshop conducted in Ringui village of Manipur. Under the sponsorship of the National School of Drama, New Delhi, she had been a part of the theatre workshop for four consecutive times. Sorinchon’s recent debut solo play titled ‘Rose’ in Imphal, had won accolades for her. The show was presented by Soraren Repertory Theatre based in Imphal.
