Kindred Peoples’ Days 2024 ‘A road goes over the bridge…’
Over flowing water, leading to other worlds. Over an abyss, the importance and weight of crossing which is acutely felt when the bridge is no longer there. Or not yet. On two October evenings, stories and songs of kindred spirits move along these bridged roads, with hope and expectation of meeting. (Folklore has it that on some bridges you may meet your Fortune, on others the Devil.) This is how director Eva Koldits has summed up the concept for this year’s concerts.
The Kindred Peoples’ Days are a series of events introducing Finno-Ugric peoples and promoting cooperation, the main promoter of which is Fenno-Ugria Foundation.
