Suite of Winter Customs and Traditions from Pojorâta (Bucovina, Romania)

The ensemble of the New Year's celebrations in Pojorâta commune brings on the stage of the "Winter Holidays in Bucovina", Campulung Moldovenesc, edition 2017, a great folklore show where authentic traditional moments are mixed with moments of healthy humor to grotesque. All the while, a little devil does foolish things despite the priest who sprinkles him with holy water. After the traditional Plugusor (Romanian New Year's tradition and carol) follows the dance and the performance of the FIVE ”goats” accompanied by a ”Old Man” and a ”Old Woman”. It turns out that all these ”mad” goats are only good to be given to the bear who dance and play at the urge of a gypsy. After the bear "revives" seeing the "Eiffel Tower" in Milan, the "gypsy" and his girl partner are unleashed in a furious Gypsy dance. The representation ends with a ”hora” (traditional Romanian round dance).
