Nepal Army band

These guys were  performing during Planet Nepal event. I liked the music they played and I liked their uniform. The sound of those bagpipes is amazing.

Russian classic "The Seagull" on the Nepalese stage

Namaste!

Yesterday I enjoyed a real theatrical performance here in Kathmandu. The One World Theatre presented The Seagull, a famous play by the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Such kind of entertainment is rare in Nepal, plus I was double curious: the Russian classic is staged by an American director and played by Nepali actors in English language. 

One World Theatre is an English language theatre company in Kathmandu, dedicated to presenting intercultural and social justice productions. This form of performing art is new to Nepal and so not quite popular here. I admire the enthusiasm and devotion of the actors who just do what they love to do and try to instill a love of theatre in Nepali people.

I liked the actors play. One of the main characters was portrayed by Kavita Srinivasan. Look at her expressions during different scenes of the play
