A Winter Night’sDream— The Musical

“I believe this musical is more than a performance — it is a heartfelt attempt to restore a sense of belonging to our land and revive a tradition that was slowly fading away.”

Rooted in oral storytelling, it brings together songs that echo ancestral voices, acts that reflect our people’s way of life, and dramatic moments drawn from our shared history.

Preserving oral traditions feels deeply urgent — a fragile narrative form, returned to its original essence: something to be heard, felt, and shared together.

In a time when rapid modernisation threatens to erode our cultural foundations, preserving oral traditions feels deeply urgent. Re‑imagining this folktale as a musical is a conscious effort to protect and carry forward a fragile narrative form by presenting it in a way that today’s generation can experience and connect with. Through music, movement, and performance, the story returns to its original essence — something to be heard, felt, and shared together.

For me, this production is a way of honouring the Naga oral tradition and paying tribute to the voices of our ancestors. It is my hope that by bringing this story back to life on stage, those voices will continue to resonate, inspire, and remain alive in the hearts of generations to come.
