GEORGIA

The beauty of the world

An episode from the series PANORAMAS

Synopsis

Situated at a strategic crossroads between Europe and Asia, Georgia has been invaded by Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, Mongols, and Bolsheviks. Still, no one has been able to crush the energy and artistic creativity of a people who consider dance to be the expression of their identity.

Despite this troubled history, the country has protected its heritage and maintained the vibrancy of its unique traditions. It is home to a biodiversity greater than that of some continents and of Homo Georgicus, the first European human known to this day.

Georgia's soul is European and Western, with a touch of Mediterranean expansiveness—a surprising combination that makes it a land to discover.
