Thauru local performance

The Tharu Cultural Performance was in the village hall.  At least 400 people sat in green metal chairs and the audience was quite noisy. So now I am thinking that it might be a cultural things. At school, we do suggest that kids need to learn how to be in an audience. Introductions were made in English. There were two drummers and dancers also sang. Wearing white, 15 women danced about harvesting rice. The young Mann's dance was more active, with sticks clacking left, right, forward and behind. I watched on the screen of a mobile phone a few rows in front of me. One young man twirled sticks energetically and there was a brilliant display with fire sticks. The audience seemed to know when the performance was ending, because many stood up and walked out while the stage was filled with the cheerful crowd joining the performers. It was energetic.
