“The higher level of whatever is the greatest belief of each different society...I found it all melded together in the gestures, the song, the dance.”

“Everything together melded all of that and it made it universal. It was a cultural event, but it touched the universe of humanity at the same time.”

“I felt it was very enlightening and you just feel...closer to your culture. I found it very open and expressive. Very spiritual...I could relate to it.”
