C.I.O.F.F. in Zurich: Folklore from All Over the World at Zuerifaescht 2013

By Artborghi @artborghi

C.I.O.F.F. activities are great opportunities for Zurich to know the multicultural communities living in the city. Can you distinguish Mexicans, Russians, Greeks and Poles while performing on stage?

Not only kids are dancing on stage, but they are often the funniest side of the show.

I shot these pictures the last time C.I.O.F.F. performed at Zuerich Faescht 2013. I love the multicultural density in Zurich and these performances are a great opportunity to know traditions from all over the world.

C.I.O.F.F. aims to promote mutual understanding and peace all over the world, also in Zurich.
