Georgian ballet still in great demand

The Georgian National Ballet “Sukhishvilli” are extremely busy on tours around the world, but coming to Russia is a great joy for them, as they are always in demand here by those who miss their culture.
The Georgian National Ballet was founded in 1945 by Iliko Sukhishvili and Nino Ramishvili. Initially called the Georgian State Dance Company, it had a lot of followers but none of them could repeat the masterly performance.
Three generations of dancers replaced each other and now they are ready to make some changes.
“Now it's the 21st century, everything must be changed. Now they are on the way to find their place, like their grandmother and grandfather did. And I like it, because when you are looking, you always find it,” said composer Dato Evgenidze.
Their Moscow performance took place in the Art Gallery of the famous artist and sculptor Zurab Tsereteli.
“For me it's a big thing! I show our culture to the whole world. And for Georgians living here in Moscow we bring some warmth from their motherland,” said dancer Ramaz Tsamalaidze.
