First
Trip to Hungary a Success
PAFDC
participated in the second annual Linum Festival in Hungary in August, 2001.
The Festival took place in a picturesque village near Budapest, and
included productions by individual and group artists as well as gallery
exhibits and musical performances.
Part of the Festival was reserved for the presentation of traditional folk
dance and song, and PAFDC was delighted to share the stage with Portuguese,
French, Transylvanian, Greek and Hungarian dance companies.
PAFDC performed lively folk dances from Kurpie and Opoczno,
including the fiery oberek opoczynski.
In their elegant Kontusz costumes PAFDC performed a mazur from
Stanislaw Moniuszko's opera Halka.
The Kontusz costumes, traditionally worn by rich landowners
and by members of the royal court, captured the imagination of the Hungarian
audience and were the hit of the Festival.
As the only Polish folk dance group at the Festival, PAFDC
received tremendous applause and many accolades from the audience, from
local television, and from the organizers of the Festival.
PAFDC also had
the opportunity to learn traditional folk dances from some of the other
groups at the Festival, and reciprocated by teaching them the basic steps of
the Krakowiak, one of Poland's best-known national dances.
