WHAT THE FOLK
WHAT THE FOLK is a new dance performance by Soňa Ferienčíková and Peter Šavel, which will have its Slovak premiere at the Bratislava in Movement Festival 2026. Drawing on folk traditions, the work explores whether dance can create a shared space in a time marked by prejudice, fear and social tension. The artists work with rhythm, ritual and communal experience. The result is a performance about belonging, shared energy and the need to be together.
