The House of Traditions participates in the long-standing festival for the eighth year, the first year as a co-participant Fonó Buda Music Hallzal and a In the darkpresented himself in a common courtyard with
Every year we carry out our work according to a theme, the program series Táncház 50, which commemorates the dance hall movement last year, will be memorable: Folk Art Individuals, The Role of Women in Traditional Culture
– introduced the professional manager into the details.
He then added that:
This year too, the segment represented by the House of Traditions cannot be missed. This year’s motto: Message to the future.
This year, the emphasis was placed on different landscape units, as there are still among us those old people who learned their culture from their predecessors in a natural way, grew into it, and have the knowledge that they can pass on to the younger generation.
We want to show this spiritual treasure to the festival-going public, many of whom are perhaps further away from the flow of folk dance, folk music and folk art, and they can meet an elderly singer or craftsman for the first time in Völgy.

Of course, traditional masters have presented themselves in their court before, but according to their plan this year, they will focus on the culture of one landscape unit for three or four days, and in the spirit of this, they will invite masters from these regions. This year, they chose to present the culture of Gyimes, Kalotaszeg and Bakony, where the craftsmen, singers and musicians come to them.
It was easier to approach in Transylvania, but shepherds also come from Bakony, from whom we can listen to a note or see a shepherd carving. These people grew up in a completely different world, cultivated land, kept animals, and lived in the dominant environment of the village community. Today’s young people socialize in a completely different way, they acquire their information and quasi-knowledge through other channels
– the professional leader tells us about their plans.
It is a challenge for us how these two can be brought into parallel and dialogue. It is not impossible, since all the social experience that we provide, for example with a dance hall and singing together, also moves today’s young people, and objects created with their own hands can bring them the joy of creation. On the other hand, folk experience – which we can use in our lives today – definitely enriches us
he added.
