KHMER ARTS ENSEMBLE presents THE LIVES OF GIANTS
Friday, October 22nd 8PM, Goodhart, Bryn Mawr College campus
For one night only, 30 musicians and dancers from Cambodia’s Khmer Arts Ensemble take center stage at Bryn Mawr College’s Goodhart Hall as part of their World Premiere tour of The Lives of Giants.  Drawing on the Cambodian Reamker (Ramayana), The Lives of Giants fuses classical and experimental dance techniques into a spare, complex, powerfully spiritual evening that delivers a resonant message about the effects of violence. “akin to watching moonlight play across water” (LA Times).

THE LIVES OF GIANTS is Free for Tri-College students, faculty, and staff. For public ticket pricing and information go to www.brynmawr.edu/arts.
(This performance is made possible by a grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through Dance Advance)
