Parsifal's Dance

Cows can’t give milk and the king is paralysed…

You can find out in Parsifal’s Dance how the festival visitors saved the kingdom, and what a bride, a beer, and a grail has to do with it.
Watch this short film, directed by Liza Nedayvoda, which captured the project Parsifal’s Procession/Kilometre Dance by Katarína Zagorski at Pohoda Festival 2022.

The visitors didn’t know whether it was a festival wedding, an experiment, some strange sect, or a performance, and that they are the Parsifals who, based on an ancient story, can save the kingdom by simply asking a question.
But they reacted, created a Parsifal’s dance, a few eloquent comments, and saved the kingdom.
