Ethnovyr

20-24 August, Rynok sq.

This particular event stands out by being a dance festival – and our familiarity with this art of plastique, movement, and harmony is so limited.

The First International Folklore Festival is fresh new, introduced in summer 2008. Nothing of this kind has ever taken place in Lviv.

This parade of cultures gathers bands from all over the world in our city – not just Slavic teams from Czech Republic or Poland, but also participants from more exotic countries such as Senegal, Martinique (France), Palestinian Autonomy (Israel), India, Taiwan, Cyprus, and many others.

This particular event stands out by being a dance festival – and our familiarity with this art of plastique, movement, and harmony is so limited. Expressive dancing miniatures combine folk traditions with ancient temple dances and energetic modern styles.

Musical traditions of faraway countries are represented by unusual, wondrous instruments. The spectators are guaranteed to get vivid impressions and experience the unique flavours of national cultures.
