The Village

Our roots go deep. The closed, traditional village community has allied with nature, to which it is bound by unbreakable ties. In this community, there was a time for singing, dancing, birth and death… Giant children looked out over the world from the shoulders of their fathers and grandfathers. It is with their help that we want to convey this ancient knowledge through dance and music. We believe in the contemporary presentation and relevance of folk dance, and in the fact that folk dance, with its power and naturalness, speaks to the people of today, and that it is capable of expressing the widest range of emotions, and evoking theatre.
