Great buildings and parks was built to represent the greatest architecture in Western and Classical civilization; and various communities were brough to fill in the scenes\, as colonial conquests. Amongst these\, were the “people of Ceylon\,” who spent afternoons pouring tea for American sight-seers in Hyde Park\, Chicago. \n125 years later\, Sri Lankan dancers and musicians present their artistry with honesty and agency.
