Thangyat groups flout municipal order on programsBySi Thu Lwin |Thursday, 10 April 2014Mandalays Thingyan entertainment troupes are refusing to submit their performances to a committee set up by the city to vet their content. The thangyat committee admitted this week that they had yet to receive any programs for their approval.Traditionally, troupes of thangyat players celebrate the water festival with songs, chants, dances and plays. The performances were banned for decades because they often have an anti-authoritarian slant. In Mandalay, the content of these is supposed to be pre-approved by the thangyat committee set up by Mandalay City Development Committee.Mandalay NLD has said its Khut Daung Kye Phyu thangyat troupe - the name translates to “fighting peacock with white star” will not seek permission either for its slogans or for the design of its decorated float. Other groups have said they will likewise ignore the government order.“Our troupe is going to tour Mandalay as representatives of the NLD. We didnt submit our chants or float design to the committee or seek their permission because we thought they might withhold it. We informed them we would tour around the town, taking responsibility for our own troupe,” U Tin Htut Oo, chair of Mandalay NLD, told The Myanmar Times.He said thangyat troupes performed during the Thingyan festival to pay respects to older people and entertain residents with music, but without using chants that could harm a group or an individual.The deadline for submission of slogans and float designs to Mandalays Thingyan Thangyat Committee, part of the Mandalay Thingyan central organising committee, was April 6. “No troupes have submitted their programs to the committee yet,” U Than Lwin, head of the Department of Public Relations and Information of MCDC, told The Myanmar Times on April 7.The committees rules ban chants that can damage the prestige of the state and its government, harm national unity, do not conform to Myanmar culture, or cast aspersions on individuals or groups, according to U Kyaw Than Tun, head of the regional office of the Department of Public Relations and Information.Not all troupes are following the NLDs lead. Ma Nay Su Hlaing, of the all-women Tamar Yeik thangyat troupe, said she planned to submit details of her performance before the festival begins. “Weve been performing thangyat in the water festival for three years. We never use words that can harm others dignity. We submitted our slogans and the committee approved them. Nothing was rejected.”But Ko Myo Kyaw Aung, of the Aung San Maung troupe, said his group had not applied for permission this year or last year. “In this transition to democracy, I dont want to apply for permission,” he said.Thangyat群體藐視市政順序上的程序由SI週四倫|週四，2014年4月10日曼德勒的Thingyan遊藝團體都拒絕他們的表演提交給委員會，成立了由市政府審批的內(nèi)容。該thangyat委員會本週承認，他們還沒有收到他們的任何審批程序。傳統(tǒng)上，thangyat玩家院團慶祝潑水節(jié)的歌曲，吟唱，舞蹈和戲劇。表演被禁止了數(shù)十年，因為他們往往有一個反獨裁傾斜。在曼德勒，這些內(nèi)容應該是預先批準thangyat委員會成立了由曼德勒城市發(fā)展委員會。曼德勒全國民主聯(lián)盟已經(jīng)表示，其Khut Daung桂Phyu thangyat劇團 - 這個名字翻譯成“戰(zhàn)鬥孔雀白星” - 將不會尋求許可，無論是以其或其口號或供其浮飾的設計。其他團體已經(jīng)表示，他們將同樣忽略政府的命令?！拔覀兊膭F是要遊覽曼德勒作為民盟的代表。我們沒有提交我們的聖歌或浮設計委員會或?qū)で笏麄兊脑S可，因為我們認為他們可能隱瞞了。我們告訴他們，我們會遊覽周圍的城鎮(zhèn)，承擔責任為我們自己的劇團，“吳丁Htut吳，曼德勒全國民主聯(lián)盟的主席，告訴緬甸時報。他說，Thingyan節(jié)日期間進行thangyat院團瞻仰老人和居民自娛自樂的音樂，但沒有使用聖歌，可能會損害一個團體或個人。截止報名日期為口號，浮設計到曼德勒的Thingyan Thangyat委員會，曼德勒Thingyan中央組委會的一部分，是4月6日?！安辉簣F已經(jīng)提交了方案，該委員會還沒有，”U比倫，部負責人公共關係和錢秀蓮舞蹈團的信息，告訴緬甸時報4月7日。該委員會的規(guī)則禁止聖歌，可以破壞國家的威信和政府，危害國家統(tǒng)一，不符合緬甸的文化，或中傷的個人或團體，根據(jù)吳覺比屯的區(qū)域辦事處負責人公共關係和新聞部。不是所有的劇團是繼
