The collective name of next year’s big holiday is “Iseoma”, which emphasizes the uniqueness of Estonians, as well as their independence.
“The celebration with songs and dances has always united and united us as a nation. Over the centuries, we have kept this tradition in our hearts both collectively and individually and carried it on our shoulders. But as people, each of us is still himself and in his own way. Distant and ours at the same time.” So it sounded part of the story of valor of the next singing and dancing party.
The meaning of “Iseoma” is different for everyone. For example, that I build my life with my own hands and raise my children myself in my wisdom. This meaning of “Iseoma” exists deep within us, our originality and our particularity, but what is important is the humanity of what binds us and unites us as a nation,” said Margus Toomla, head of the Iseoma Festival. singing and dancing.
2260 collectives have already signed up for next year’s big party, to which foreign collectives will be added. On this occasion the creators of the song festival were inspired by our rich dialect creations and, according to Heili Jürgenson, artistic director of the song festival, the repertoire is structured in such a way that all dialect regions are represented. “Many classics of Estonian choral music, with the exception of Veljo Tormisen, have used dialect in their songs. Having used it and sung it with my choirs as a conductor, it seemed to me that it is unused material, where it has not been put no finger. Since I myself come from the north-eastern corner of Estonia and speak in a certain way, and sometimes some of my colleagues from the Setumaa region speak differently, I know that sometimes we may not understand each other at all. These differences sometimes they are very funny and nice.”
The graphic elements of the Suurpeo logo were inspired by the details of forest and field plants, and the overall symbol was created as a combination of several elements. Work on creating images has already been carried out for 3-4 months.
“These elements that were the basis, form a single whole, which I affectionately call a flower of united differences. The holiday is a happy event and it was very important for me to draw inspiration or a source of color from our wonderful national costumes,” said Marko Kekišev, chief artist of the song and dance festival.
