This year’s theme is:
Dos Plumas ‘Dos Plumas al Viento’ – ‘Two Feathers in the Wind’
al Viento This theme for 2015 will create a framework for our Festival
programme and will weave though all festival concerts and
activities.
Two Feathers
in the Wind
Two feathers blown by the wind around the World, their
journey portrayed through music, dance, spoken word,
poetry and visual arts.
Each festival concert and event will become part of the
Theme, telling a new Chapter of the Story of ‘Dos Plumas al
Viento’, culminating in specially choreographed Gala
Performances, which will involve all the festival participants.
We invite our audience to share with us your favourite
legends and myths from all over the World, by post, email or
through Facebook.
The selection of legends and myths we receive from you will
be read out at the festival concerts.
