Chancellor Hall, 14th March – The biggest yearly cultural event in UTP, International Culture Night 2014 was held on Friday night in the Chancellor Hall. With more than 20 performance from different countries, universities and groups the ICN 2014 aimed to bringing unity and joy to the students and guests of UTP.
‘My expectation is that ICN 2014 will be awesome’ said the project director of ICN 2014 Mr. Mohamed Akhter Hussein (2nd/2nd-PE). Mr. Akhter also said that he had 107 committees working hard to make the ICN 2014 a hit.
There were performances from Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan, South Sudan, Mozambique, India, Nigeria, Indonesia, Florisscia John with Trio, The Stage Breakerz (TSB), UTP Bhangra Group and UTP Preforming Art Group (UPAG).
Amongst the guest performances included dances Asia Metropolitan University (AMU), University Malaya (UM) Bangladesh and Mozambique Capote with Virtuoso. Also there were performances from exchange students from Japan and a beautiful performance on the piano by Colin Woolums from USA.
The beauty of ICN this year was the diversity in showing the cultures as dancing wasn’t the only art form on display. Some countries and groups used music to deliver their cultures which add more diversity to the cultural event. Shiva Selventiiran, TSB performer, said that he was very excited to be part of the ICN for the very first time and believed that ICN is the occasion for TSB to mesmerize the audience with their out-of-the-world performance.
All-in-all, ICN 2014 was not without its flaws, especially technical missteps, but judging by the audiences’ reactions ICN 2014 proved to be a smash hit, and the next installment is still very much eagerly awaited.
