'Steppe'-ing into History

The play was staged at the London Coliseum and delivered in Mongolian.  During the two and a half hour production, we were afforded an insight into the culture and foundations of the Mongol Empire through puppetry, music and dance and lavish costumery.  We were given a glimpse into the cultural practice of Shamism, a belief system that includes medicine, religion, a reverence of nature and ancestor worship where Sharmans were believed to have the ability to communicate with spirits.  The play gave references to Temujin himself who later becomes more famously known as Genghis Khan and leader of the Mongol Empire.  

Overall, everybody found the trip very entertaining, enjoyable and beneficial to the understanding of such a complex and secret history.
