Das kleine Festival für jiddische Kultur in Meran – il piccolo festival della cultura Yiddish a Merano

MERANOKLEZMERDANCES 4.9.-7.9.2022

Meran hat eine faszinierende yiddische Geschichte. Wer sie wiederentdeckt, wird auch die „Klezmermusik“ kennenlernen und viele wunderschöne Lieder in yiddischer Sprache, bisher verlorene Schätze einer untergegangenen Welt: „Klezmer“ ist mehr als nur ein Stil, es ist eine Erinnerung, eine Sprache, eine Geschichte, ein ritueller Tanz voller Leben, eine Kultur.

Merano ha un’affascinante storia del mondo yiddish. Chi lo scopre conoscerà anche la musica klezmer e tante meravigliose canzoni yiddish, tesori precedentemente perduti di un mondo perduto: „Klezmer“ è più di uno stile, è un ricordo, un linguaggio, una storia, uno stato, una cultura, una danza di vita.

Meran has a fascinating Yiddish history. Those who rediscover it will also get to know „Klezmer music“ and many beautiful songs in Yiddish, hitherto lost treasures of a lost world: „Klezmer“ is more than just a style, it is a memory, a language, a story, a ritual dance of life, a culture.

Klezmer – was ist das? Es ist original Tanzmusik, die traditionellen Hochzeits-Tänze der osteuropäisch-jiddischen Kultur, mit Fiddle, Klarinette, Kontrabass, Akkordeon und Klavier, Welt-Kulturerbe. Die Tänze sind Kreistänze, Paartänze und Solotänze und führen uns hinein in den Reigen des Lebens. Meditativ oder ausgelassen, spirituell und sinnlich erzählen -sie von der Welt der wunderbaren Shtetl-Kultur. „Jiddisch“ ist die Sprache dazu. Sie bezaubert uns mit zarten, wehmütigen, lebensstarken und weisen Liedern und ihrer Poesie. Worte werden zu Musik, Klänge werden zu Bewegung, im Tanz ersteht die alte Welt der Shtetl.

Eine Kontinuität im Angebot jüdischer Kultur soll dazu führen, dass wir die jüdischen Welten, die Meran einst mitprägten, kennenlernen!

Klezmer – che cos’è? È musica originale, dei tradizionali balli nuziali della cultura yiddish dell’Europa orientale, con violino, clarinetto, contrabbasso, fisarmonica e pianoforte, Patrimonio dell’Umanità.  Sono balli in cerchio, balli di coppia e balli solisti e ci conducono nella danza della vita. Meditativi o esuberanti, spirituali o sensuali – raccontano il mondo della meravigliosa cultura shtetl e l‘Yiddish è la sua lingua che incanta con canzoni tenere, malinconiche, vitali e sagge e la sua poesia. Le parole diventano musica, i suoni diventano movimento, il vecchio mondo dello shtetl risorge nella danza.

Un immergerci nella cultura ebraica ci farà conoscere il mondo ebraico che un tempo contribuì a plasmare Merano!
