The Contemporary Ballet of Teatro San Martín, directed by the renown choreographer Mauricio Wainrot, former choreographer of the Royal Ballet of Flanders (Belgium), and Les Ballets Jazz (Montreal), will offer a series of free presentations of their choreographic version of the scenic cantata Carmina Burana at the Amphitheater Eva Peron in Parque Centenario.

Carmina Burana is a collection of chants from the 12th and 13th centuries, preserved in a unique Codex found in 1803 by Johann Christoph von Aretin at the abbey of Bura Sancti Benedicti (Benediktbeuern), in Bavaria. The codex comprises a total of 300 rhymes, written mainly in latin, some in an ancient German dialect, and ancient French.

Between 1935 and 1936 German composer Carl Orff set 24 of the poems to music, also called Carmina Burana, becoming a symbol of the German spirit. The most famous movement is "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (O Fortuna)".

The scenes that will be presented in this occasion are: Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, Primo Vere, In Taberna Cour D’Amours, Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi.

The province of Mendoza will display all the magic of the National Harvest Festival, which in the 2011 edition will be called "The Faces of the Harvest." On February 17, from 12 noon, a tent will be set to distribute brochures, and typical products of the region. At 6:00 pm, an artistic team of 18 dancers and musicians from Mendoza, in the presence of the National Harvest Queen, Flor Destéfanis, will present the "foretaste of the wine harvest" in Buenos Aires, which will also include the traditional "Grape Trading".

The "Grape Trading" is one of the highlights of the event, a centennial celebration that has been part of the tradition, dating back thousands of years, when young and beautiful women got together to tread the grapes celebrating a bountiful and successful harvest. This time, the idea is to relive those moments with four beautiful women of our land.

The cult of the Virgin of Carrodilla will also be present as a significant icon of the great Festival of Mendoza.

The show will feature "Bela Lugosi", national rock band born in Mendoza back in 1993. The folk group from Mendoza "Los Chimeno" will also present their show in the stage.
The National Harvest Festival will take place in Mendoza, from Friday, March 4 to Monday, March 7, 2011.
