Description
This whole performance was hampered by the incessant interactions of the atsara - one using a green plastic bucket - which we eventually managed to get rid of for the sake of the footage and had replaced with a wooden bucket for the second part of the dance! One atsara raised a laugh by saying that the bucket had been magically transformed thanks to the intercession of Pema Lingpa!! Korphu Drup begins the evening of Jan. 3, 2007 with a religious ceremony held in front of the Lhakhang followed by a Mewang, the burning of a large gate that everyone is invited to pass beneath whilst it's still burning. Various ging dances are also performed during the mewang.
