Monks dances will be accompanied by the players on the ritual musical instruments used exclusively in monasteries. Organizers want to offer to the audience professional performance and an authentic experience.
It is the first opportunity in the Czech Republic to participate in authentic rituals in the form in which they are made for the Tibetan audience, and the unique opportunity to become familiar with the phenomenon, which profoundly influenced the whole Tibetan culture, way of thinking and the society – with the original face of Tibet.
