A Visit Like No Other!

Featuring: Ewa Jakubiec, Alicja Chwieduk, Konstancja Łazowa, Emilia Maciejewska.
The Enigmatic World of Flamenco Dance
Flamenco dance, deeply rooted in the cultural tapestry of Spain, particularly Andalusia, carries a rich history and profound significance. Originating from the diverse cultural influences of the region, including Spanish, Moorish, and Roma traditions, flamenco emerged as a powerful form of expression for marginalised communities.
Initially, it served as a means of channelling the joys, sorrows, and struggles of everyday life into artistic expression, often accompanied by passionate guitar playing and soulful singing. Over time, flamenco evolved into a revered art form, recognized internationally for its emotional depth, intricate footwork, and vibrant costumes. Beyond its artistic allure, flamenco embodies the resilience, strength, and spirit of the Andalusian people, serving as a symbol of cultural identity and unity. Through its mesmerising rhythms and captivating movements, flamenco continues to captivate audiences worldwide, transcending boundaries and fostering a deeper appreciation for the rich heritage of Spain.
Experience the Vibrancy of Espacio Flamenco

Unveiling the “Nightlife” of Plants
The Night at Palmiarnia Poznańska always draws great interest, offering visitors a chance to witness the “nightlife” of plants, which differs from their daytime appearances. The dim lighting inside the pavilions adds an extra special atmosphere to the event.
Explore every facet of Palmiarnia Poznańska’s charm, from the rhythmic dance of flamenco to the tranquil world of its aquatic inhabitants. As you wander through the lush greenery and vibrant blooms, don’t forget to feed the fish. Remember to bring change as the distributor of the fish food doesn’t accept cards—only złoty coins will do!
