Bacchu-ber
The bacchu-ber is a traditional folk dance performed with swords. This dance takes place in the district of Pont-de-Cervières, city of Briançon (Hautes-Alpes, France). Its origin dates back to many centuries ago (first written confirmation in 1730). This folk dance is unique in France and is one of the rare sword dances that have stood the test of time.〔Violet Alford, 1940 (see publications above): "This sole survivor of the Sword dances of France (...)"〕〔Magazine ''La France pittoresque'', n° 22, April–May–June 2007〕
It is performed once a year on 16 August, day of Saint Roch (1340–1379), patron of the Pont-de-Cervières district.
== Origins ==
The origin of the dance is almost impossible to determine: it might be a dance of Celtic, Roman, Greek, Flemish, etc. origin. One could argue that the name of this dance evokes the god Bacchus but this remains unproven.
As the dance is performed on the feast-day of Saint Roch, who is traditionally invoked in times of plague, some experts argue that survivors of the plague in Pont-de-Cervières would have chosen this Saint as patron of their district. However, there has never been any mention of a vow being made to perform a special dance on this particular saint's day.〔Collection of texts, le bacchu-ber et la danse des épées, André Carénini, Edisud, 2005〕
