March 21 is the New Year in the Middle East
Saturday 21 of march we will celebrate Newroz with bands, movie screening and ACAbaret with a stage open for all kinds of freak and creative performances.
The New Year
21 march is the new year in the middle east. The Kurdish New Year begins when winter turns into spring on the March equinox. Across Kurdish regions, the festival commemorates the myth of Kawa, a blacksmith who rebelled against the evil King Zuhak and freed his people from oppression.
According to the legend, spring no longer came because of Zuhak’s reign of injustice. The blacksmith Kawa led an uprising against the tyrannical king, defeating him on the eve of Newroz. On the next day spring returned to Kurdistan. Lets celebrate this day as the end of our own “suppression” and make a new start with the spring and new year.
Open stage
