It's showtime for Aragon at the 2010 World Expo.
Aragon Week, which opened at the Spain Pavilion yesterday, is turning the pavilion into a stage for dance and music.
During Aragon's week at the pavilion, visitors will be able to enjoy the show "Aragon's Fantasia." Musicians and dancers will perform a 35-minute modern version of the "jota," a typical dance of the region, through the week.
The choir "B Vocal" comprising five musicians yesterday also performed at the pavilion. They recreated the soundscape of instruments such as drums, guitars, and bass with their voices.
The documentary "Water's Dream" was also screened yesterday at the pavilion. It discussed problems regarding waste of water based on the stories of five different kids from five different regions in the world.
Aragon is a region in northern Spain, home to many rivers. Its well-developed irrigation system around Ebro River is the key for its productive agriculture. Aragon, and in particular its capital, Zaragoza, is known for hosting an Expo in 2008 with the theme of "Water and Sustainable Development."
