OBJECTIVES:
This year EduLift focused on Drama and its other forms as âPoetic Playâ and âSpoken Word Poetryâ to introduce new poets and poems, for this, we chose an exceptionally well written poem âThe Torrent of Youthâ by Dhondhup Gyal.
Dhondhup Gyal, also considered as the founder of modern Tibetan Poet was born in Amdo, Tibet. He studied in a local school in Nangra and later joined Qinghai Radio Broadcasting Station in Xining. The poem âThe Torrent of Youthâ, was a rousing ode to Tibet that celebrated the vitality of Tibetan Youth, and had an enormous impact on the landscape of Tibetan literature. It inspired not just writers and intellectuals to read and write poetry, but even many young ordinary Tibetans.
The Art and Language Program 2019, revolved around this very poem and EduLift along with the participants were able to prepare a Spoken Word Poetry and a drama performance on âThe Torrent of Youthâ
