BUILDING BAIKWTAR : Dressing the Spark of the Rebellion

What makes the costume design for "Rangchak Ni Khumpui" particularly distinctive is that the play does not represent a single, homogeneous culture. Instead, the playwright situates the narrative in a historical moment prior to the rigid demarcation of contemporary state boundaries. As a result, the costumes draw from a broader cultural landscape. Tripura, known as home to nineteen indigenous tribes, becomes a crucial reference point, and the design attempts to weave together multiple historical and cultural influences. This is especially evident in the inclusion of not one but two characters embodying Buddhist elements, which gestures toward the historical introduction and presence of Buddhism in the region.

Baikwtar, as a character, is marked by an absence of personal history. She possesses no clear memory of her birthplace or her parents. Despite this, her costume becomes a powerful site of identity. She wears what she understands of her roots with quiet pride. The character is dressed in attire inspired by traditional Manipuri fashion: a Phanek, specifically a Mapan Naibi, identifiable by its distinct horizontal stripes. It is paired with an Innaphi, a translucent stole adorned with delicate border motifs. Even though the play does not explicitly state her origins, these visual cues, along with her recollections of Raas and the incorporation of its dance vocabulary into her movement, strongly suggest a Manipuri cultural affiliation.

The colour palette chosen for Baikwtar further deepens her characterization. Dominated by soft pastels interspersed with brighter motifs, it creates a striking juxtaposition that reflects her paradoxical nature: an elderly figure imbued with a sense of youthfulness and vitality. She becomes the spark that ignites rebellion within Hamjakma and Larima, embodying a complex duality: she is at once fierce and gentle, graceful and regal.
