German folklore as a guest in Poland 2017

From 26.08. to 03.09.2017 we were invited to the 30th anniversary of the CIOFF International Folklore Festival in Cieszyn/Katowice in Poland. 26 of our dancers and musicians were able to gain a wide range of impressions and exchange ideas with the other participating groups from all over Poland, even far away from the Silesian stages.Algeria, Ireland, Italy, Cape Verde, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey and Zimbabwe gain enriching experiences. We are already looking forward to the cultural exchange at an international folklore festival next summer!

“Thea Maass” traveled to Poland with a total of twelve choreographies. With the dances, the folklore dance ensemble becomes an ambassador for Germany. Traditional dances from all corners of the country are part of the repertoire.”
