? Why just "Demižón" ?
A lot of people stop for a while and wonder about this name. However, this short moment of hesitation always reassures us that another person has really noticed us.
Originally, the name Demižón was just a joke of one of the dancers. But after long reflex ions and considerations we came to the conclusion that it is not an unsuitable name at all. One must imagine what a demijohn represents for a wine-grower. The wine-grower deposits the result of his year-long work and effort in the demijohn and let it ripe there to its best form. If we make use of this parallel for the Demižón members, we realize that we can see the year-long work and effort indeed. And the ripening of the dancers and musicians? It is the same as in the case of wine – the older the better. But watch out! It needs permanent care and nothing may be neglected, otherwise the whole effort would be wasted.
