Kultuuripäevade EV100-eri raames salvestati Eesti sünnipäeva auks video, mis liidab endas vana seto leelo-ning tantsutraditsioonid modernse – kaasajalise tantsustiiliga. Kohalik New Yorgis elav Eesti koreograaf Diina Tamm oma rahvusvahelise tantsutrupiga veedavad päeva Eestist tulnud setode grupi “Siidisõsarõ” leelotajatega. 28. märtsil filmisime erinevates New Yorgi vaatamisväärsustes esitamas ühele või teisele grupile omast loomingut, mis kulmineerus päeva lõpuks “sulandumisega”. Video mõte on näidata, kuidas erinevad kultuuride vormid ja generatsioonid suudavad teha koostööd ka olles olemuselt kuid ka geograafiliselt üksteisest nii kaugel. Samuti on see korraldajate andmeil esimene selline ülesvõtmine, kus setod New Yorgis täisrõivastuses leelotavad.
