ROKPA - Himalayan Dance Tour

ROKPA INTERNATIONAL was established in 1980 by the Tibetan doctor and meditation master Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche, by Lea Wyler and by Dr. Veit Wyler. The headquarter is in Zurich/ Switzerland. ROKPA is an non-political humanitarian charity that is commited to improve, with lasting effect, the lives of people who live in the areas of extrem poverty mostly in Tibet and Nepal. The ROKPA Children Tour is a very special kind of cultural encounter: the Polish director Grzegorz Bral (multiple prize-winner at the Edinburgh Festival), and Lea Wyler have created a repertoire for rokpa's Anniversary celebrations, with dances and music from the Himalayan region. The dancers, who where themselves former street kids, also bring some exciting personal elements. This is a reflection of how modern influences have reached these remote regions, but without diminishing the original cultural traditions.
