Company:
National Ballet of Uzbekistan
Lazgi is a timeless tale of love and the eternal dance of the soul, set against the backdrop of Central Asia’s legendary Silk Road.
The plot begins millennia ago, during the great era of caravans travelling on the Silk Road. In the scorching desert, under the songs of shamans, Love awakens and begins its eternal dance with the immortal Soul.
This fantastic journey from the past to the future is the story of the Soul, embodying centuries-old traditions and folk temperament, and Love, following it through all eras. The story of the people, the memory of ancestors, and the voices of spirits—each act of the ballet strengthens the connection between times, culminating in the inseparable union of Soul and Love.
