Dance as a weapon - where the past is revered and the present is overlooked.

A woman and man in Czech folk costumes dance in front of a public cultural institution. A folk celebration, or a protest gesture?

Their performance highlights the contradiction between declared respect for cultural heritage and insufficient support for contemporary culture. Dance and song become a protest that confronts the idealization of folk tradition with the reality of operating on the contemporary Czech cultural scene.
