Zedashe is coming to Philly! The world-renowned Georgian folk ensemble is making a stop rare stop on the east coast and spending a day at MAAS.

Following the afternoon workshop, Zedashe will be hosting a Supra: a traditional Georgian feast, complete with food, drink, dancing and singing.

A Supra is an ancient tool for expressing generosity, happiness, respect, grief, and gratitude communally, all while reveling in the very best elements of traditional culture - singing, dance, amazing food, and giving blessings at the table. 

Consisting of a many-course feast and unending pours of homemade wine, a toastmaster punctuates and weaves the guests and evening together with themed toasts to the group - to Love, to Land, to Ancestors, to Children, to Death - and more. As the meal goes on, moments of music and dance erupt from the musicians and singers at the table, inspired by peaks in the energy, the crowd, the mood.

Zedashe will be serving up traditional Georgian dishes and wine for dinner, and giving performances throughout the meal. Space is extremely limited!
