Kupalle op de Noordzee
Presented by MARA
Join a commemoration of the inaugural day of Kupala with a heartfelt tribute to the political prisoners in Belarus. The event begins with a traditional dinner that will transport your taste buds to the heart of Belarusian culture, followed by a concert.
The musical and dance performance “I am here” is brought to life through an array of photographs and narratives depicting the condition of political prisoners. This poignant performance culminates in a grand closing act.
