REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA / Calarasi / Palanca / January 2016 / Malanca in Palanca / The boys are finishing up to assemble their masks. They gathered all the material in one of the old empty houses in the village. As many people leave the country to work in European countries or In Russia, the group of young men participating to the Malanca has dropped in the last years. The engaged ones felle the need to come back home for the occasion to keep the tradition alive. В© Chiara Dazi / Anzenberger
