A Melting Pot of Cultures
Bautzen, Drachhausen, and Crostwitz are about to become hotspots for a spectacular cultural exchange. Folklore ensembles from far and wide will share their traditions, music, and dances with curious onlookers. The festivities began on Thursday and will last until Sunday, promising a lively display of cultural diversity.
Get ready to see groups from around the world parading down the streets and showing off their vibrant costumes, all while sharing the precious traditions that have been passed down through generations.
The Heart of the Festival
The festival organizers, Domowina, have a special goal in mind - to spotlight and celebrate the cultural heritage of small ethnic groups and minorities. The energy-filled performances will take place on unique stages set up in charming farmhouses, which adds to the festival's warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Keep an eye out for the Grupo de Danzas de la Uni del Valle from Colombia on Sunday. Dressed in eye-catching costumes, they'll bring the spirit of South America to the stage. Even during the performances, there will be opportunities for audience engagement, making this event a truly interactive experience.
Bridging Cultures, One Step at a Time
Festival Director Peter Bresan shares the organizers' excitement about this one-of-a-kind event. "Our goal is to invite groups that embody small ethnic groups or represent unique aspects of their region. This year, we're proud to have the first African group join us - the Saly Velingara Ballet from Senegal."
Amadou Gueye, the group's leader, is just as thrilled. "I'm looking forward to experiencing cultural differences here, as we come together to celebrate this amazing festival. I can't wait to share our culture with Germany."
The exchange of ideas and traditions is ongoing, as the performers and audience members alike gather for a weekend of understanding, unity, and shared celebration. Don't miss out on the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, right here in Lusatia!
And remember, you can catch all the action on our website and live stream on Sunday!
