Adaptable Kingdom: Music and Dance from Nepal

  • Genre: Documentary
  • Run time: 27 min
  • Premiere: 1972. January 1.

This film takes the viewer to a kingdom in the Himalayas, where tribal animism, Buddhism, and Hinduism live in harmony. In the folklore of Nepal, religious mask-dances with the sound of large barrel drums illustrate the age-old battle between good and evil. We also hear a gayen, the itinerant singer of the Nepalese folk tradition, side-by-side with temple songs.
