KMDMP Visits Chateau Ligoure, France
Conceived by Marthe Desrosières-Brodskis, The Fun Dor Tsu Dor (from generation to generation) festival is a multi-generational, fully immersive Yiddish culture experience that engages participants with song, instrumental music, food, Yiddish language learning, dance, filme, and theater.
Each week, the preparation of a musical show led by Miriam Camerini (Jerusalem, Turin), director, singer and Christina Crowder (USA), accordionist, ethnomusicologist, around the Kiselgof-Makonovetsky project will be in the spotlight.
In 1912 an ethnomusicologist expedition led by Ansky, Kiselgof and Makonovetsky in Galicia, allows to collect great musical riches entrusted to the Vernadsky Library of Kiev. This material after having been inaccessible for decades because of World War II and Soviet domination, reappeared by chance a few years ago and the adventure of its transmission continues!
We will give young and old the opportunity to perform in concert/show during the week, the opportunity to confront an audience and the chance to meet new people!
Close to Limoges, between meadows and forests, the magnificent chateau of Ligoure offers many rooms with two beds and more. In a friendly atmosphere, you will taste ashkenazi recipes based on local products. Everyone participates in turn in the life of the castle, cleaning, dishes.
The course mixes the joys of castle life with those of family life!
