Deep in the forest—among bears, foxes, deer, and soaring pines—a striking melody beats to river and drum. In the shadow of the Krkonoše Mountains, this song and dance multiplies in triple time: and Mazurka is born.
The mazurka, a Polish waltz, is a beloved dance of Czech generations past and present that originated centuries ago under the Krkonoše Mountains, or Giant Mountains, straddling the present-day border of Czechia and Poland.
Between continents, generations, languages, and cultures, the poems of Mazurka honor this music and dance of the Bohemian people, the natural worlds that inspire them, and the strong women—from antiquity to the present and into the future—that dare to face their pain and endeavor to transform it.
