Nina Ananiashvili

Artistic Director of the Tbilisi Ballet Festival:

Any ballet festival is a meeting point of classical and modern, soloists and corps de ballet, seasoned performers and new stars, the famous and unknown, artists and art lovers, individuals and companies, East and West. A meeting point where everyone learns and teaches simultaneously.

Dance in general and ballet in particular are the most emotional and honest art forms: one cannot lie when words are not involved. I do not remember who said this, but the person was quite right: “Life without dance is a mistake”.

May Terpsichore and Euterpe bless your Festival experiences!
