CULTURESCAPES Romania

Culturescapes is a festival in Switzerland which each year presents a different region from the European area in its various cultural facets. This year the festival will focus on Rumania. From 14.11.07 till 6.12.07 there will be a variety of individual events presenting different artistic disciplines such as concerts, films, theatre performances, readings and lectures in a number of Swiss towns rather than centred in Basel. There will be further events in Bern, Uster, Zurich, Dornach and Lörrach in Germany. Renowned artists and speakers will portray the cultural diversity of Rumania for the guests at our festival.
