A Conversation with Folklorist and Poet Desmond Kharmawphlang Interfaces : Objects, Orality, Poetry, Place and Ritual
This presentation will focus attention on Ka Chat Pyrlein, a divination ceremony in which the shaman-singer uses eggs, water, mud, rice grains and the diplin diknor, a wooden object on which signs are read. The performance of the Ka Chat Pyrlein also unleashes the chanting of an origin myth, the storyline of which binds the whole performance into an experience of poetry which is at once, primeval and contemporary.
