The Magnificent
Mazowsze

Available for touring October 25-December 19, 2010

"There is nothing greater than Mazowsze!" – New York Times

After the very successful 2007 tour, the world-renowned MAZOWSZE returns to North America in a special 60^th Anniversary celebratory tour of live performances, once again coordinated with major Public Television showings of the PBS special about MAZOWSZE: “The Music and Dance of Poland”.

THE MAGNIFICENT MAZOWSZE is a thrilling display of dazzling movement, vibrant color and stunning beauty. The incomparable Mazowsze performance troupe whirls, leaps, stamps and glides in a glorious outpouring of sound and motion, rhythm and music that celebrates the cultural legacy of Poland.

An ensemble of 90 dancers, musicians and singers are arrayed in a seemingly never-ending series of handmade traditional costumes – more than 1,000 in total, one more dramatic and colorful than the next. Some weigh as much as 30lbs, making their energetic gravity-defying leaps, twirls and lifts even more impressive!

The choreography and musical arrangements represent 39 regions of Poland with traditional performance styles. A full 23-member orchestra performs music ranging from Chopin to simple folk melodies beloved by the Poles for centuries.

Holiday Program Available.
