Music and dance – and as a spectacular joint project. The documentary film ‘Als ob die Welt tanzt’ (As if the world were dancing) follows the development of this unique ethnic symbiosis. The film crew sensitively observes the participants and asks them about their feelings and motivations.
On 21 and 22 August, the film was shown at the German Film Festival in Ludwigshafen am Rhein.
The ruins of Castle Lichtenberg near Kusel (Palatinate) at the Ethno Germany Music Camp from 7th until 17th of August 2025 provided once again a rustic yet fascinating scenery for musicians and dancers working side by side, creating breath-taking performances, where sound and movement merge together.
About 50 participants shared and explored diverse cultural backgrounds, learned and reinvented traditional music & dances and connected through the power of music & dance.
Be in the big spaces of the castle area, the comfort & service of the youth hostel, the professional artistic mentors or the support from the enthusiastic organisers – participants received everything they needed for days and nights full of music, dance and joy.
