CLOSING RITUAL – Kathara performed an interactive theatre performance lifted from the dance-theatre play entitled Malaki' T'Olu K'waig. The delegates became the players – playing music, dancing and acting during the whole performance of the piece, which told of a tribe celebrating thanksgiving. Buso, the destroyer, watched as drums and gongs were sounded and the people danced and sang all day and night. His evil heart was filled with envy, so he attacked and wreaked havoc on the tribe. The people sought the help of Diwata who, with the help of the people, fought and repelled Buso with her green seedlings of life – the antidote against Buso's evil destructive spells. Integrated in the closing ritual was the reading of the poem, "The Surreal Storyteller," which was interpreted with contemporary dance.
