Mėnuo Juodaragis XV
independent festival of post folk, alternative, contemporary baltic culture

24-26.08.12 , Zarasai, Lietuva

The 15th Mėnuo Juodaragis festival will hatch out of the cosmic egg as destined on the last weekend of summer calling back its entire kin to celebrate the charming feast of music and culture on the dreamy Lake Zarasas Island which has become home to the Festival.

On August 24–26, the annual event will host the most unique art collectives from around the globe and unlock the treasury of knowledge of the Baltic culture in a creative way. For three days and nights, the forested hollows of the Island will sound with voices, while the fresh water of the Lake will caress the reflection of the gibbous moon…

This year, the thematic crown of the Festival will be adored with birds – the motley heralds from legends transformed into hundreds of totems and folklore symbols, mesmerising with the variety of tones and hues. The inspiration for flight will be further enhanced by the parallel topic of the Festival – the history of Lithuanian aviation.

The programme of the MJR will include shows of prominent music bands, skilful masters of the old crafts, eco-art enthusiasts and lectures from culture researchers. The Festival won’t do without surprises either. After all, the woodpecker is motley, and Mėnuo Juodaragis is even more colourful.
