Celtic circle

A Celtic circle (Breton: kelc'h keltiek, French: cercle celtique) is an association which emphasizes the Breton culture, by using possibly the Breton language.

Kevrenn Alre

The Celtic circles created before the Second World War had very wide cultural objectives, including the literature, the theater, the songs, the choral singing, the plastic arts and the learning and the practice of the Breton language, but not always the music and the dance of Brittany. However, those after 1945 generally restricted their scope and concern themselves with collecting, studying, transmitting and disseminating arts and the popular traditions in Brittany, in particular the Breton dances by occurring on stage with amateur status: performances and compositions created will go in this direction.

There are between 200 and 300, most of which are located in Brittany, but there are also many in cities where Breton communities are found in France, Guadeloupe, New York City, and Beijing. There are two large federations, who organize competitions, Kendalc'h and War'l Leur. The circles and festival of the city of Quimper are very well known.

gollark: In CC/Lua it's easiest to use environments for this.
gollark: Sandboxing in general is just restricting what programs and stuff can do
gollark: Are you trying to do sandboxing? Sandboxing is very hard. I can try and figure out a way around your sandboxing, but then any program can use that.
gollark: I feel like there would be utility in having turtle-like things which are entities and more mobile.
gollark: Perhaps. I was basically going to suggest OC-ish drones, since some sort of very mobile entity robots would be neat.
