The festival focuses on the earlier<br />
cultural world-view of the Baltic Sea<br />
nations and the ancient Nordic<br />
countries. The <strong>2012</strong> festival is the<br />
11th. This time the topic is TALES –<br />
not only the sagas and myths, but<br />
also refl ections <strong>in</strong> dance, song,<br />

new songs and music <strong>in</strong> the old tradition.<br />
