Bavaria on a Cultural Exchange
Travelling strengthens our understanding of foreign cultures, broadens our horizons and thus promotes tolerance and peaceful coexistence. That's why we send Bavaria insiders through Ireland, France, The Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Italy and Germany according to the motto "same same but different". There they will meet colleagues and like-minded people. We will report on the meetings, the exchange of ideas, expertise and culture and a lot of fun here with videos and stories.
Landler meets Munnix
Anne O'Donnell and Derwin Myers from Tralee, Ireland, are dedicated to preserving folk traditions like the North Kerry Munnix' Dance with many like-minded people in the folk theatre Siamsa Tire (mirth and music of the land). Bavarian Dance master Katharina wants to pass on to people the joy of Bavarian dance such as the Zwiefachen, Polka or Landler. She does this at village festivals, weddings, May dances and at the Kirchweih.
