Ten Years of Celebrating South Asia

All 340 seats in the Agassiz Theatre were full all four nights of the production, and most had sold out ahead of time.

According to Tambar, this is the first year in the show's history that tickets sold out prior to curtain each night.

And from the exuberant reaction of many audience members, it looks as though next year's show may be sold out in advance as well.

Tomohiro Hamakawa '02 caught the Friday night show and says he will be in the audience again for the 11th Ghungroo production.

"I thought the traditional dances were really good and the skits were unexpected but pretty funny," he explains. "It was really great how there was synthesis of lots of cultures."

Celebrating: South Asian Style

An eclectic mix of song, dance, poetry and humor, the show presented a broad range of entertainment styles from a variety of regions of South Asia.

On any given night, Vasan estimates that about 65 to 70 percent of the acts were performed while all of the acts were included in the closing performance. Each show began with a traditional dance solo, performed by a different dancer each time.
