Director’s Notes
Mongolian traditional cultural elements, especially cave painting play an important role in dance art. Therefore, the biggest motivations of those works are archaeological artifacts and dance movements derived from museum exhibits.
Historical dance performance is expressed in art form; however music and costumes are adapted to modern day standard. Choreography was designed tastefully, based on Mongolian cave paintings and historical artifacts.
