On January 27, 2024, The So-Li-Sü Theatres, a group of theatrical artists formed with the motive of promulgating theatrical art, will be performing their debut performance titled “Süngra” in the Yimtsüngta Arok Sapang, Ungma. This performance will be the product of an 18-day residential workshop. “Süngra” is inspired by an art work done by an artist named Temjen, whose art was exhibited during the Hornbill festival. It is based on Ao Naga folklore and on the belief that its people and forefathers emerged from ‘Longterok’ which means six stones. The style of the performance will be metaphoric and nonverbal, symbolic play. Kilangtemsu Imsong is the director of the theatrical play.

So-Li-Sü is a team of self-organised and self-sponsored groups of young artists, some professionals, and some learners. They’ll be performing a play called “Sungra,” inspired by a work of art based on our culture and tradition. The play will be staged for 70 minutes. It will be performed by 10 artists and assisted by 4 musicians and set crews.
