Georgian National Dance Company Sukhishvili

"Sukhishvili, for all its acrobatics and occasional swordfighting, possesses a refined esthetic, from the live musicians onstage with drums, flutes, guitar and accordion, to the poise of the dancers, with their lifted, dignified bearing." — The Washington Post

"Shows of strength, tornado-fast spins, jumps, swords, shields and daggers for male dancers, matched with the gliding and elegant movements of female performers in vibrantly coloured costumes make Georgian dance a dazzling spectacle for audiences." – Reuter

After a nine-year hiatus, internationally acclaimed Georgian National Dance Company Sukhishvili is returning to Hong Kong, bringing with it another exciting, spectacular showcase of traditional Georgian folk dance woven with contemporary elements and delivering a unique charm. Dressed in dazzling traditional folk costumes, the dancers will showcase the customs and profound cultural heritage of Georgia through their extraordinary dancing techniques with a blend of classical and contemporary elements.

Georgian dance has distinctive characteristics. Male dancers will perform complicated movements such as point works, fast-paced spins, squat jumps, stomps and more with dexterity and fierce passions. They are in stark contrast to the soft and elegant dance of female dancers, featuring graceful glides and refined hand movements, which will make the whole performance a fine blending of strength and delicateness. The choreography of this performance also offers a superb combination of traditional Georgian dancing and modern dancing elements. There will be dancers competing against others and captivating choreographed formations, together with stage lighting effects, gorgeous costumes and exciting live folk music. Audiences will be able to feel the passion and charm, classic and innovation of the Georgian people.
