Georgian Institute of Culture Song and Dance Ensemble – Art Sakartvelo

Op Roakeldais proudly welcomes the Georgian Institute of Culture Song and Dance Ensemble – Art Sakartvelo from Georgia. This impressive group brings the rich and centuries-old traditions of Georgian song and dance culture to life in a spectacular and refined performance.

Georgia, situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is known for its unique culture in which music and dance play a central role. Art Sakartvelo showcases these traditions with powerful male dances full of speed and precision, combined with elegant, almost floating movements from the female dancers. The contrasts between strength and grace make the Georgian dance style beloved and recognizable worldwide.

In addition to dance, polyphony also plays an important role. Georgian polyphony, recognized as intangible heritage, forms an essential part of their performances and creates a deep, emotional experience. The combination of song, music, and dance creates an impressive whole in which history, identity, and craftsmanship come together. What makes this group unique is that they travel with a full live orchestra: Gumbati. These musicians, deeply rooted in Georgian tradition, provide authentic and powerful accompaniment that elevates the dance and singing to an even higher level. The live music adds extra intensity and experience to every performance.

Art Sakartvelo is affiliated with the Georgian Institute of Culture and stands for quality, education, and passing on cultural heritage to new generations. With their passion, discipline, and artistic level, they bring an authentic and unforgettable experience to the stage.
