Description
An exclusive, one-off extravaganza featuring Celtic and Balkan traditional dance, music and stories. Marvel at the dissonant harmonies and vibrant ecstasy of the Bulgarian folk-song tradition in the vocals of Angela Rodel (winner of the International Booker Prize 2023 for translation) and discover how the three cultures shaped by the bagpipes resemble and diverge from each other. Also featuring trad dance duo Ariana Stoyanova and Alexis Street, who are joined by fellow Highland and Bulgarian folk dancers, and for the first time by Scottish and Irish step dancers including Alison Carlyle.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
