Riti i humbur i Llazoreve i “gjallë” ndër arkivat e numerizuara
The lost rite of the Llazore, “alive” from the digital archives

Summary/Abstract: Together with the rites of the spring cycle, such as Summer Day, St. George, Novruz, Rusticat, etc., it was practiced the rite of Llazore. This rite with pagan characteristics, often encountered in rural areas, is no longer practiced. This has happened due to a number of reasons that have affected the intangible cultural heritage. Despite this, we have managed to preserve and inherit through the archives many songs, sung dances and folkloric motives of this rite through in a digital form, at the archive of the National Center of Folkloristic Activities and the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Art Research (Academy of Albanological Studies). This paper will preview the data that we find in the digital archives, where the rite of Llazore is included, treating this rite in the context of artistic performance. At the same time, we will try to reconstruct the rite, addressing the stages and form of organization of the rite. We will try to achieve this by comparing the archival material with the empirical data we have to collected during our expeditions focused on the rite of Llazore.
