Eight Tibetan monks are visiting Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn this month to present an exhilarating programme of mantras, music and dance, opening a magical window on to a world of reincarnation and mysticism.

From the mesmerising chant of Buddhist texts to swirling costumed masked dances accompanied by ancient Tantric musical instruments, the monks evoke the atmosphere of sacred Tibet offering an experience of an ancient, endangered culture.

The monks, all of whom hail from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, make a stop-off at the venue on Tuesday 19 November. Tickets are available at theatresevern.co.uk
