The performers worked hard, and the room filled with the stale smell of sweat and body odour. This was not ordinary body odour, but that sickly sweet coconut-like smell that is is indicative of many of the Pacific Islands. I had developed that smell a few times during the trip myself. I had thought it was caused by eating too much coconut, but I was told that eating a lot of cassava causes your body to give off a distinctive strong and pungent aroma - maybe that's what is.
