 Description:

“We exist for a purpose,” declared the shaman, enlightening his audience. “Our purpose is to embrace our destiny… Life, in all its facets, resides within the realm of ‘Pensam’ – the enigmatic space in between. Here, the extraordinary unfolds, and every experience finds its expression. Like a narrow boat sailing through serene or tempestuous seas, life navigates through the unknown.” In the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, where the Adis dwell, a boy descended mysteriously from the heavens and was embraced as a son by the village, eventually blossoming into a revered elder. A young woman, scarred by love’s wounds, discovers unexpected healing through a marriage she had little hope for. A mother, driven by fierce determination, confronts destiny and the law in search of her long-lost infant son. As a remote hamlet welcomes the arrival of a road, the influx of a new world threatens to disrupt their tranquil existence. In the face of transitioning villages that morph into small towns and towns that verge on cities, a resilient few valiantly safeguard the traditions of old, navigating the currents of change with memories and reverence. Interwoven with a tapestry of captivating tales, vivid imagery, and the tribe’s historical tapestry, The Legends of Pensam is a poignant and melodic homage to the indomitable human spirit. Possessing the soul of a poet, Mamang Dai paints a memorable portrait of a land that is both distinctive and universal in its essence.
