The Georgian National Ballet 'Sukhishvili' performs its 80th anniversary celebration, based on traditional Georgian dance, at the Newmark Theatre.
The Georgian National Ballet "Sukhishvili" comes to the Newmark Theatre on Saturday, October 17, as part of a U.S. tour marking the company's 80th anniversary. It's a milestone they're celebrating with performances, exhibitions, and other events around the world throughout the year, and this Portland stop is one of those dates.
If you've never seen them, the company's work is rooted in traditional Georgian dance, which is known for its intricate footwork, colorful costumes, and powerful storytelling. They've incorporated modern elements and new ideas over the years, but the staging still stays close to those traditional roots. The performance is open to all ages, so it's as much a family outing as a night out for dance fans.
