Tibetan Drama

Tibetan Drama is another form of outdoor song/dance entertainments. The most important feature is that actors and accesses put on masks for their performance. It is said that this form was invented in the 15th century by the Reverend Monk Tangdong Jiebu. When he traveled in Tibetan, he found that rivers contributed to much inconvenience for local people, and determined to build cable bridges across all the rivers. He coordinated with seven brothers and sisters who were good at dancing singing. They started a special form or song and dance with themes like history, religious stories, teaching for good deeds and charily. Highly commending his act undertaken for the public good. Tibetan monks donate money and material supplies lo build the cable bridges. When construction completed, the Tibetan Drama troupe became popular in Tibetan-inhabited regions.
