Old Polish Dance Party
by Bractwo Artystyczne "TABERNA LIBRA" ( Artistic Fraternity TABERNA LIBRA)
Spectacle based on the beautiful music composed by St. Moniuszko, K.Kurpiński and F.Chopin , and on facetious Old Polish texts.
The artists (actors , musicians , dancers) make a colourful invasion on a gentry manor where the host with old-fashion views tries to protect his pretty daughter against the unsuitable wooers. The arrival of players and dancers causes a general turmoil and becomes a pretext for a sumptuous feast. Two eminent families from the neighbourhood are invited - their roles are assigned to the participants of the revelry , i. e . the spectators sitting at the richly spread tables. Each of the two families receives a banner with their coat of arms.
Many CONTESTS will decide which of the houses is cleverer and more distinguished ; among them singing Old Polish toasts , guessing the meaning of Old Polish sayings , beer contest, " mazur" dancing contest. The hosts in Polish gentry costumes watch over the course of the competition . The winners of a contest collect points ( golden crowns).
In the intervals of those Old Polish games and plays , all the present sing , toasts cheering the winners , and the actors present witty scenes.
Throughout the revelry , the main thread is pursued - seeking a suitable candidate for the hausband of the host`s daughter. The guests of the banquet - the spectators - receive the FEAST SONGBOOKS and sing songs and couplets together with the artists.
