I mentioned in a previous post that this week Evolène hosts the bi-annual CIME (Célébrations Interculturelles de la Montagne à Evolène) festival. As well as ad hoc shows in the neighbouring villages during the day, there are 2 gala evenings with music, song and dance performances by the countries represented.  We were lucky enough to get tickets for Thursday evening, where Turkey, Ireland and Uzbekistan were represented alongside a local troupe.

My apologies for the quality of the pictures below, but they were taken without a flash from near the back of the hall.  So probably alotoutoffocus ! 🙂
