Thoudam Victor Singh


Project Period: One year

For the implementation of a Foundation Project by IFA under Productions, to create a physical poetry performance that critiques the efficacy of six mega hydro projects in Manipur that fell short of their intended purpose. Based on detailed research into the ramifications of the Khuga, Khoupam, Singda and Thoubal dams, the Loktal project and the Dholaithabi barrage project, this work will be an artistic response to a flawed and degenerate political system. The outcome of this project will be the physical poetry performance. The Project Coordinator’s deliverables to IFA from this project will be still and video documentation of the process and the final production. Project funds will pay for professional fees, production, equipment hire, venue hire, honorarium, printing and publicity, resource persons’ fees, travel, and purchase of books and library fees.
