FESTIVAL MEMBERS
Brave Festival in Wroclaw, Poland (2 – 10 July 2010) Brave Festival, organized since 2005 by The Song of the Goat Theatre in Wroclaw, Poland, is a festival of brave people, people who speak about where they come from, what their values are and what their tradition and spirituality is. It is a festival about a world which is vanishing and will die if we do nothing to hold this process back, at least a bit. It is not about works of art, but about art through which it is possible to save and protect thousands of forgotten, abandoned and forlorn cultures and people. That is why we called it "Brave Festival - Against Cultural Exile". More info: www.bravefestival.pl
