Only Ghosts Percussive Storytelling

Written on January 11, 2012 by in Performance

In the sultry jungles of Nepal, modern and ancient desires beat
When a stranger comes to Batuwaa, the mystic and the modern clash. Voices, percussion music, and story meld into the pulse of a mysterious pool, Bhoot Pool: the place the villagers of Batuwaa fear; the place the forbidden are free to love.
Of course, all freedom has its cost.

An international cast
Over twenty percussion instruments
Original story and music
