MATCHA: Afghanistan!
Loading...
Uploaded by AsianArtMuseum on Dec 5, 2008
The MATCHA season culminates in a grand finale with food, music, and dance of Afghanistan, in celebration of the highly anticipated, critically acclaimed special exhibition, Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul. See what the press is saying about this "at once revelatory and heart-rending" show (New York Times).
The Bay Area's own Ballet Afsaneh, a dynamic ensemble whose repertory focuses on Silk Road regions in Central Asia, will perform colorful, kinetic traditional dance. See Afghanistan, go on a guided tour, make jewelry inspired by the ancient Bactrian gold on view, nibble on tasty bites, mingle with friends over cocktails from the cash bar, and much more.
This is 2008's last MATCHA. Let's end it with a bang!

This is not an original and purely 'Afghan' representation of Afghan culture is and most importantly WAS- in terms of the music using indian instruments and the dancers having an indian style incorporated to dance styles.
