My Son

This guide to My Son near Da Nang follows a daily Apsara dance staged among more than seventy brick towers raised by the Champa kingdom over nearly a thousand years, worshippers of Shiva under the name Bhadreshvara. It traces the gestures the dancers borrow straight from the stone carvings around them, and the saranai horn and paranung drum that once called worshippers to this shrine. You'll also hear how a French archaeologist once found these towers half swallowed by jungle. Catch the show at the foot of Tower G, just after nine in the morning.
