Ratan Thiyam has been writing and staging plays that use ancient Indian theater traditions and forms in a contemporary context. His works profess a deep concern for social welfare and spiritual yearnings in the midst of the political chaos in the modern world.
His plays infuse rationalised and multifaceted analysis of myriad perspectives. Using ingenius theatrical stagecraft, his plays are tinged with literary beauty and meaning. Most of Ratan Thiyamâs plays are thematically Indianised and are profound plays with universal appeal.
His works are strongly influenced by Natya Sastra, an Indian theater style propounded by Bharata during the second century B.C., as also ancient Greek drama, and the Noh theatre of Japan.
His approach to theatre has been shaped by years of study under the tutelage of several major exponents of the traditional Manipuri performing arts.
