Schon im Mittelalter feierte man in der Walpurgisnacht, denn der harte Winter lag hinter und ein Sommer voller Freuden vor einem. Ganz in dieser Tradition lädt "Bal Renaissance - Danse Médiévale" alle Tanzbegeisterten in den Festsaal des Alten Wirt zu Obermenzing, um mit ausgelassenen Tänzen und fröhlicher Musik gemeinsam den Frühling zu begrüßen.
Die Küche des Alten Wirt kredenzt dazu ein historisches Festmahl, wie es schon im Mittelalter den Gaumen erfreute.
Zum Tanz spielt, wie gewohnt, das Duo Okzitanis, das auch alle Tänze fachkundig anleitet. Getanzt werden Kreis-, Hecken- und Figuren-Tänze, die die Ausgelassenheit dörflicher Feste ebenso wieder aufleben lassen, wie die Pracht höfischer Bälle.

Saturday April 7 2018, in Palermo within the enchantingVilla Boscogrande, location of the opening scene ofVisconti’s movie.

The novel “The Leopard” is set in Palermo, 1860 in the aftermath of the landing on the the Island ofGaribaldi’s Thousand. As such, it tells the story of the period stretching from the glories of the Romantic era tothe annexation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to the Kingdom of Italy.

The novel’s pages are redolent with the memories of the wonderful places and memories now gone forever which the Principe di Salina experienced in his childhood and as a youngman. Those places are now laying in ruins. The  same are nowbrought back to mind in the most atmospheric scenes of the movie “The Leopard” and especially in the first, shot in the fascinating Villa Boscogrande, as well as in the sixth, whichdescrive the Gran ballo dai Ponteleone . The novel’scharacters, the costumes and dances – such as the famousWaltz or Mazurka by Giuseppe Verdi and Nino Rota respectively – together with the magistereal coreographies byAlberto Testa, the places, the musical scores, landscapes and buffet where rhum jelly, timballo di maccheroni and rosolio – all will be celebrated during

This describes a crucial historical  passage in which Palermo’sruling elite lived in awe of the new events, for “following the arrival of the Piedmontese and the ominous events ofAspromonte [where the Piedmontes shot Garibaldi], havingfears of expropriations and violence subsided, the two hundredpeople who constituted “‘the World” never got tired ofmeeting each other to congratulate themselves on being still in exsistence” ( G. Tomasi di Lampedusa “The Leopard”).
