Tibet – the Land of Snows: home to Buddhist lamas whose ancient rituals have fascinated people for centuries.
Eight Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery present ‘From the Roof of the World’ an exhilarating programme of mantras, music and dance opening a magical window on to a world of reincarnation and mysticism.
From the mesmerising chant of Buddhist texts to swirling costumed masked dances accompanied by ancient Tantric musical instruments: horns made from human leg bones, skull-drums, cymbals, bells and the great dungchen (long horns), the monks evoke the atmosphere of sacred Tibet offering an experience of an ancient, endangered culture.
“A rich tradition of sacred dance music and song. The physical and the spiritual in equal balance.” —
