Nine Hills, One Valley:

Ratan Thiyam and the Chorus Repertory Theater

Asia Society, New York NY. October 28 & 29, 2006 and US Tour.

Ratan Thiyam and his 26-member Chorus Repertory Theatre from Manipur, India, whose North American debut of Uttar-Priyadarshi (The Final Beatitude) dazzled American audiences in 2000, return to the U.S. in the Fall of 2006 with their new production Nine Hills One Valley (Chinglon Mapan Tampak Ama), a haunting and powerful theatrical allegory that confronts the turmoil that consumes Thiyam’s native land today.

 

The 2006 national tour is co-produced by Asia Society and Lisa Booth Management, Inc. with support from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations; the Ford Foundation; the Asian Cultural Council; and the Association of Performing Arts Presenters Ensemble Theatre Collaborations Grant Program, a component of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Theatre Initiative.
