Bhutan Video

We have posted a 5 minute montage of the video footage that we took at the first day of the Shelmakha Festival on October 11, 2007. Dancers dressed as skeletons, animals, demons, assassins, and angels perform ages-old choreography. Women in traditional Bhutanese dress sing and dance as atsaras (clowns) satirize Bhutanese society. Young and old come together to celebrate their traditions and pay homage to the community in which they were raised.
