Bel Panto: Part I

In December 1996, the Japanese embassy in Lima, Peru was invaded by a group of terrorists from the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, a group of indigenous Peruvian Indians demanding more political autonomy. The embassy personnel and the guests at a dinner party were taken hostage. This incident was later turned into a novel titled Bel Canto. This is where the title of this show comes from.
