Exchange of Cultural Programs is a symbol of strong
bilateral relations between two countries. So is the case between India and
Sudan. Embassy of India in Khartoum in partnership with Ministry of Culture
Sudan brought Goa Kala Academy under the aegis of Indian Council of Cultural
Relations in New Delhi.
Goa Kala Academy performed folk songs and dances of Goa at
the National Theatre of Omdurman on Thursday 18 May. Goa is a picturesque state
in the West Coast of India. Goa has its own rich tradition of folk lore and
folk art tradition. A ten member troupe
from Goa Kala Academy performed various folk songs and dances with colourful
costumes and ‘props’. The dance forms ranged from winding and unwinding of
braids with brisk footwork, lamp dance with gymnastic skills balancing the
brass lamps on their heads, warrior dance with swords and horse heads on the
waists and stilt dances.
Minister of State for Culture Dr.Hasabalrasoul Ahmed
inaugurated the program along with the Ambassador of India Amrit Lugun. They
were joined by the Commissioner of Omdurman Majdi Abdulaziz.
The audience comprised Ministers, Diplomats, Dignitaries and
members from both Sudanese and Indian communities. The Cultural troupe will
also perform in Madani.
