Thank you to the Armenian Youth France (JAF) for organizing this tour of the National Ballet of Armenia. A high-flying spectacle of rare beauty which he was invited us to attend.
Sunday, June 29, 1300 at the Casino de Paris spectators, all 40 dancers Paregamoutyoun (Friendship), under the direction of Master Norayr Mehrabyan, offered his audience a high color show of virtuosity, the magical choreography served in sumptuous costumes.
Combining old and new, between tradition and audacity, writes Julien Haroumyan (Chairman of JAF), with music from Khachaturian, through Komitas, Sayat Nova, Babadjanian, to borrow Elton John-in-the Djanabar miracle occurs immediately before a captivated audience, applauding wildly at each demonstration.
The impeccable technique and synchronization between the dancers, in addition to the overflowing charisma and innate sensitivity Armenian make these dances a unique show of its kind.
There where the Armenian soul and so great attractive power. Mystery mingled with melancholy, but awakens so promptly to the call of life that nothing and nobody could resist. Between joy and emotion, it is impossible to remain indifferent to such a burst of vitality and freshness that feel like the future of the Armenian culture. In three words, frankly it’s good!
Would recommend to French friends. They will regret it at any time.
