Summary
| Description |
English: Faroese chain dance (folkdance) in the village Sumba, which is the southernmost village in Suðuroy and in the Faroe Islands. The people from Sumba have strong traditions regarding the Faroese chain dance (føroyskur dansur) and with the tradition with singing "kvæði" folk songs (the folk songs accompany the dance as the only music, no instruments are used). At the beginning of the Lent period they have traditions with dancing Faroese chain dance and also to hit a very strong barrel. They have made the barrel so strong that it last for 5-6 hours or so. Every now and then they go up to the dancing hall (Dansistovan) next to the church and dance the chain dance and then back again to hit the barrel. The men have one barrel and the women have one. The have special costumes in the same colours as the Faroese flag Merkið: White, red and blue. This photo was taken on 5 February 2011 inside Dansistovan (the dance hall).

Dansk: Fastelavn i Sumba, Færøerne. På billedet danser de færøsk kædedans, som har stærke traditioner i Sumba. De har også lange traditioner med at "slå katten af tønden" fastelavns lørdag. Mændene har deres egen tønde og kvinderne har deres. De forstærker tønderne med ståltråd og med at lade den ligge i flere dage i vand. Det tager ca. 5-6 timer at slå tønden ned. Der er flere pauser, hvor de tager op til dansestuen (Dansistovan) hvor de så danser færøsk kædedans. De er alle iført hvide skjorter med silkebånd på tværs af kroppen som har samme farver som det færøske flag, Merkið. Kæppene er også malet i hvid, blå og røde farver, som flaget. |
