The event will take place at Munich’s BMW Park from May 15 to May 17. For the third consecutive appearance, SamoDivi will perform “Zaludo Libe Kitka ne Davaydance,” a piece intended to convey a unifying, vibrant emotion shared among its members.
The ensemble team reported that preparations are underway, involving twice-weekly rehearsals focused on choreography details and costume preparation. SamoDivi is characterized as a small, cohesive group comprising dancers from various generations.
