10 CuLture & events Libertas Film Festival February - July 2012 Saint Blaze in history and art D-3, Rector’s Palace, Pred Dvorom 1 and Žitnica Rupe (Granary Rupe). When strolling around the Old City of Dubrovnik simply count the amount of times you pass an image of Saint Blaze, patron to Dubrovnik. You’ll be left dumfound! He lives not only in the walls but in the hearts of city folk and has so since the 10th century. A huge insight is given into his life, his works, his martyrdom and visions that saved this city from imperial attack. As a symbol of the city, his images in art, banners, money, stamps, medals through to statues on city buildings and walls are everywhere. City museums will hold exhibitions that portray the importance of Saint Blaze as seen through art and culture, a true adornment to a much loved Saint.

Choose from the following shows - Faust by Charles Gounod - 10. 12 2011 Enchated Island - 21. 01 2012 Manon by Jules Massenet- 07. 04 2012 Four days of carnival 18.02 2012 Saturday - 21.02 2012 Tuesday Four days of Dubrovnik carnival As in most other Mediterranean countries, the carnival season occupies a hugely symbolic position in the Dubrovnik calendar, representing the last great party of the winter and acting as something of a season-opener for the coming spring. The days leading up to Shrove Tuesday have been a time for dressing up and playing the fool ever since the medieval era, when the carnival period was the one time of year when the lower orders were allowed to make fun of their rulers without being locked up. In Croatia this satirical tradition still lives on, with many locals opting for carnival disguises which satirize personalities who were in the news over the course of the previous year. This year’s Dubrovnik carnival spans four days, kicking off on the morning of February 18th in front of Saint Blaise’s Church with the šporke makarule cooking competition - in which chefs from the city’s hotels compete in preparing the traditional dish of the title. Literally “dirty macaroni”, šporke makarule consists of locally-made pasta drenched in delicious beef-goulash sauce. It has long been a mainstay of every self-respecting Dubrovnik housewife’s culinary repertoire, even if it hardly ever appears on local restaurant menus. Over the next three days a series of fancy-dress parades weave their way through the Old Town, and charity balls are held in Revelin Fortress. The carnival culminates with the main parade on Tuesday 21st, when groups of locals (including school-children, work colleagues, and sports teams) file along the Stradun dressed in disguises that they may well have been working on for the whole of the previous year. For most of the participants this is a thoroughly modern exercise in fancy dress, although recent years have seen the re-emergence of some of the more ritualistic carnival characters of old - strange, shaggy-haired monsters such as the gaping-mouthed Coroje and the long-necked Turica are unique to the Dubrovnik region.
