One of the most beautiful traditions in Northern Romania is ‘’Jianu’’. In a small city called Darmanesti, on Christmas day, people wearing brightly colored costumes travel to different houses, dancing, playing drums, interpreting a play inspired by the outlaw Iancu Jianu.

Iancu Jianu was one of the most known Romanian outlaws. He was leading around 2000-3000 outlaws. His actions were directed against the boyars and he had a strong national character.

The carol has a lot of characters that take part of the play: ‘’New Year’’, “Old Year’’, two outlaws, the shepherd, the officer, the hunter, the Turkish man and Iancu Jianu’s girlfriend, Soltanina, the only feminine character in the act.

These photos were taken by Vlad Cioplea, photographer based in Romania.
