Theatre of the Earth (2015)

When amateur theatre practitioner Kanhailal was thrown out of National School of Drama in 1968, he did not give up hope along with his actress / wife Sabitri, he started an inward journey of meditation reflecting on the rich body culture of Manipur and energies of the earth. Theatre of the Earth tells the extraordinary journey the couple made from poverty, rejection, controversy to subsequent honour with the Indian theatre world heralding them as one of the country's finest theatre icons. Lyrical, musical and sublime conjure by new theatre movement, the film pays homage to the rituals of the human suffering both on stage and in real life.
