Basic information

From June to October there are regular performances by Knight Societies on the island and in the town of Korčula. The war dances Moreška, Kumpanija and Moštra have a four centuries long tradition which has been protected and kept alive on the island of Korčula. Some of the war dances symbolise the defence of the island from invaders, while the Moreška dance symbolises the battle between good and evil through seven dynamic sword dances; the battle between the white and dark kings for a beautiful girl, the bride of the white king.
