Over the weekend, we were invited to the UK premiere of Lazgi – Dance of Soul and Love, a celebration of heritage, tradition and the universal language of dance, featuring the National Ballet of Uzbekistan, at the London Coliseum.
Presented with the support of the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation, the production was choreographed by Raoul Raimondo Rebeck. It pays homage to the ancient folk dance Lazgi, recently inscribed by UNESCO as a significant part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage.
It’s a beautiful production that showcases the fascinating journey through Khorezm dance history. It meanders gently through intense moments and intricate, breathtaking choreography, allowing the company members of the National Ballet of Uzbekistan to show off their phenomenal talent.
The stunning choreography is complemented by music composed by Davidson Jaconello, and sets and lighting effects were created by the world-famous Japanese multimedia artist Yoko Seyama.
Lazgi—Dance of Soul and Love is a show that educates and gives you a deep-found appreciation of dance in all its forms as a glorious medium for telling captivating stories.
