REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA / Calarasi / Palanca / January 2016 / Malanca in Palanca / The gilrs of the village help the boys with the costumes: here they are sueing the 'GuИ›ul Horse'. The horse is the Malanca, the brave defender of the village, a figure coming from the Bucovina. Girls are not allowed to dress up for the celebration. Even the role of women is interpreted by boys.
