ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The classic myth of Acis and Galatea in Händel’s version meets the Bhutanese theatrical tradition.
The profound spirituality of the mysterious country located in the heart of the Himalayas, which considers its GDP in terms of happiness for each subject, shares in the dramaturgy of Handel’s Acis and Galatea the same human values linked to compassion and the mystery of death and reincarnation. and transfiguration.
The show, staged in October 2013 in Thimphu in the presence of SA the queen mother Ashi Sangay Choden Wangchuck, was resumed in 2014 in the USA in the presence of 6000 spectators.
