"TONACUYC" ARMENIAN FOLK PROGRAM

Our Hong Kong Group treat themselves to a cultural extravaganza as one of the local Armenian Folklore Ensembles puts on a dynamic and magical show of traditional music and dance in Ashtarak.

Through the dance-song performance, our guests witness a fascinating insight into the costumes, music, and dance heritage of Armenia.The choreography is based on authentic Armenian dances, some collected from isolated villages and dating back hundreds of years.

In the latter days, the Republic of Armenia, being one of the smallest parts of remote Historical Armenia, is still enormously rich with its national dances and folk songs. Stemming from pagan rituals and games, prevalent by then, Armenian national dance art has reached to us in the form of various group dances, which, according to their nature and performance, are divided into the ritual, religious and those of daily performance.

On the whole, the Armenian dance art and folklore art have long been one of the most revealing expressions of its character and aesthetic thinking, as well as highlights its national idiosyncrasy, inner world, and attitude towards nature and life at large. Historical costumes used throughout the centuries overtly emphasize the fine taste and aesthetic characteristics of Armenians.
