FEMALE CHARACTER/ NUPI SABI

Nupi sabis who are actually male actors performing females roles. Owing to the nature of the theatre firm actors had to travel to different places  for performance. Earlier, Manipur society being conservative in nature, did not find it conductive for women performers travellings with men to distant locations. Hence there was a dropout in the number of women performers and men had to step in to play the females roles. Nupi sabis have to undergo rigorous training in the practice of physically and vocal trainings.
