Of incredible beauty and showcasing some of the best musical talents in the world, the show “Georgian Legend” has been coming to Russia for several years with growing success and popularity each time. Today this highly entertaining performance is well known all over the world. Critically acclaimed, this breathtaking show is now widely considered to rival to the equally legendary shows “Riverdance” and “Lord of the Dance” and recognized as one of the most large-budget musical and choreographic productions of recent times. The show is based on stories from Georgian national history, which are embodied on stage through beautiful dancing and vocal acts, amazing costumes, stunning scenery as well as breathtaking light and visual effects. Ultra-modern technologies are organically intertwined into each number on a backdrop of national Georgian colours, which simply make the concert all the more vivid and spectacular.
The creator of this mesmerizing project was the famous American producer Jim Law, who in 1999 visited Tbilisi and fell in love with the city, country and culture. This city of century-old traditions inspired by the timeless beauty of Georgian folklore come together to create an unforgettable and awe-inspiring setting. World-class French project directors, musicians and designers were also invited to work on the project. The result is an amazing display of all the peculiarities and wonders of the Caucasus’ culture.
The artists of “Georgian Legend” include men, women and children from eight to eleven; all in all, about one hundred artists performing together as one. The show manages to create a wholesome and harmonious picture, depicting the history of the Georgian people as well as their culture and traditions. Here, the viewer can enjoy scenes of ancient wars and victories as well as stories of individual people interwoven into the narrative. Themes of love and hatred, life and death highlight the pride and courage of a people who, for hundreds of years have kept their independence and have not lost their cultural identity.
For more than fifteen years, the project has, with great success, been giving concerts in numerous countries around the world. “Georgian Legend” gathers thousands wherever it plays, fascinates all who see it and leaves one with wondrous memories. It merges the triumphs of choreography, music, acting, magnificent scenery and much more to create an unforgettable show and brings the Georgian culture closer than ever before to its audience.
