30 YEARS OF THE WEIMAR TRIANGLE

Participation of Project Parsifal in the intercultural musical exchange of the 30 years of the Weimar Triangle. Organized by the Centre Français de Berlin, the 30th anniversary of the Weimar Triangle is an intercultural event aimed at celebrating the trilateral cooperation between France, Germany, and Poland. This initiative, proposed in the form of a musical and cultural exchange, brought together three musical groups from the three countries concerned over a period of ten days to create a joint musical project. The Parsifal Project took part, accompanied by a new member, Jules, on percussion. The other two groups were "Sector 5" (Germany) and the "Jazz Quartet from Bednarska School of Music" (Poland). During our stay, we were able to share many different cultural facets of the three countries, notably through a gastronomic evening where each group proposed a typical recipe from their country of origin (for our part, we presented our famous Breton and Parisian crêpes), also through exchanges about our habits, our traditions, and of course, through the musical part. The goal was to create several trinational pieces and perform them at the end of the stay on August 28, 2021 (the celebration date of the trilateral union) accompanied by a small individual performance by the three groups. Thus, gathered for nearly ten days, we were able to exchange beautiful moments of sharing both on a human and musical level, which were representative of the great friendship and respect the three countries have for each other. This invited us to come together around universal values such as music and love, which remind us that we are this great ocean of human beings capable of aligning on the same wave, although we are different drops of water, in order to create a project where origins and cultural differences are hands extended toward a solidary and prosperous future.
