March is finally here, and as we know, one of the biggest events of the year is coming up!
The event, known as Cultural Outreach, is annually organized by Trent’s International Student Association (TISA), and showcases cultural performances from all over the world exhibiting the true talent and diversity of Trent’s student community.
Cultural Outreach will be taking place on Saturday, March 19 at 2p.m., and 7p.m. at the Showplace Performance Centre.
This year’s theme will be The Phantom of the Opera and the show will follow the Phantom’s quest around the world as he searches for an act for his new opera house.
Throughout his quest, he will encounter a diversity of cultural performances, powerful and emotional, and fascinating in their own way.
A diversity of cultures will be represented, as performers will be dancing to Afro-Caribbean mixes, Salsa and Bachata, Soka, Bhangra and Bollywood, as well as traditional Venezuelan, Malaysian, and Russian songs.
Singers, spoken-words, tap dancers, and fiddle players will enhance the diversity of performances and finally, the presence of the Phantom will make it an engaging and entertaining show.
Which act will the Phantom choose?
