Heisnam Sabitri is a monumental figure in Indian theatre, particularly renowned for her contributions to Manipuri theatre. This book provides an invaluable insight into her life and legacy, chronicling her journey from her early years as a child artist to becoming one of the most influential figures in Indian theatre. Sabitri’s story is intertwined with that of her husband, the celebrated theatre director Heisnam Kanhailal, and together they transformed the landscape of Manipuri theatre. The book also sheds light on the concepts of ‘thamoi,’ a unique Meitei cultural concept that played a significant role in shaping their theatrical productions.
The narrative offers readers a rich perspective on the life and career of Sabitri, highlighting her collaborations, the cultural nuances of Manipuri theatre, and the innovation she brought to the stage. The book also places her legacy in the context of 20th-century Indian theatre, alongside other cultural pioneers.
